Chevy Volts hit 40-mile target on batteries

[SpartanDem]

Early versions of the Chevrolet Volt are going 40 miles on electricity as hoped, the program's chief engineer said Monday

I'm very confident that the batteries are delivering the energy that they need to deliver and that the vehicle's efficiencies are where it should be," said Andrew Farah, Volt chief engineer. "We're still doing a few last-minute tweaks and tunes on the aerodynamics but, again, that's just to stabilize some things."

GM is getting closer to the releas of the Chevrolet Volt, an extended-range electric car, which is to begin production in November.
Preproduction of the Volt began about two weeks ago at GM's Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant.
