The Chevrolet Volt is an electric vehicle with extended-range capability. On a fully charged battery and tank of gas, the Volt has an estimated total driving range of 379 miles. Because the Volt can use gasoline to create its own electricity in extended-range mode, long trips are possible. The Volt is powered only from electricity stored in its 16-kWh lithium-ion battery for a typical driving range of 25-50 miles depending on temperature, terrain, driving technique and battery age (EPA estimates are 38 miles). When the Volt’s battery runs low, a gas-powered engine-generator seamlessly engages to extend the driving range until you can stop and plug in to recharge the battery.

What causes the in-vehicle display for EV range to change?
The EV range displayed in the vehicle is a projection based on recent driving conditions. It is normal for the displayed value to adjust while the vehicle is driven, as this estimate is constantly being recalculated. Adjustments are based on recent driving history for the vehicle. The displayed EV range can vary from season to season, week to week, day to day and even drive to drive.
