4D Hatchback, Electric, and Single Reduction Gear.Now in its third year of production, the Chevrolet Volt electric vehicle receives a few minor updates for 2013, which help improve its performance, battery capacity and driving range. Modifications made to the composition and chemistry of the Volt's lithium-ion battery enable the vehicle to now travel up to 38 miles on a single electric charge, without the use of gasoline. That's an increase of 3 miles over the previous year's driving distance. In addition, the Volt's miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe) jumps from 94 to 98 miles for 2013, and total battery storage capacity increases from 16 kilowatts to 16.5 kilowatts. As a result, the Volt can now travel to an extended range of 380 miles without a charge or fillup at the gas pump. However, due to the increased driving range, the Volt's battery will take slightly longer to fully charge. Using a 120-volt outlet, a full recharge now takes about 10.5 hours (up from 10 hours), and about 4.25 hours when using a 240-volt charging unit (up from 4 hours). Charge times are reduced if the battery has not been fully depleted, Chevy notes, and the company estimates it will cost owners about $1.60 a day to run the Volt on electricity alone.
