For an average cost of $60 to $80 per month, users will have unlimited charging capabilities, whether at home or at public charging stations throughout the Houston area. This service is also said to be extended to the Dallas area by the middle of next year.

When the Chevrolet Volt launches later this year, it will offer a connected ownership experience. By that, I mean the Volt will connect with drivers and keep drivers connected to their lives in ways never seen before in the auto industry. In addition to the OnStar mobile application -  where owners can remotely program vehicle charge times, track their EV miles (and miles per gallon in extended-range mode), check battery charge status, and more - touch screens and a 30 gigabyte internal hard drive, the Volt will also come with more than one year of free OnStar.

Gripping the steering wheel. Punching the accelerator. Cutting through corners and taking a straightaway with gusto. These simple things are what connects you to a car, gets your heart racing and makes that car an extension of you. But what if you could take some of those feelings and integrate them into your gaming experience, or take them with you on the go via your mobile phone?  With Kinect for Microsoft’s Xbox 360, Windows Phone 7 and MSN, you will soon.
