The Volt has won several awards, including the 2009 Green Car Vision Award, 2011 Green Car of the Year, 2011 North American Car of the Year, 2011 World Green Car, 2012 European Car of the Year, and 2016 Green Car of the Year.īasic powertrain configuration of a series hybrid vehicle, one of the two possible modes of the Chevrolet Volt when operated as range-extender vehicle and Canada began in October 2015 as a 2016 model year. Deliveries to retail customers in the U.S. The second-generation Volt's improved battery system and drivetrain increased the all-electric range to 53 miles (85 km), its EPA-rated fuel economy in charge-sustaining mode to 42 mpg ‑US (5.6 L/100 km 50 mpg ‑imp), and the combined city/highway fuel economy in all-electric mode to 106 MPG-e, up from 98 MPG-e. Under the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) cycle, the 2013–15 model year Volt all-electric range is 38 mi (61 km), with a combined electric mode/gasoline-only rating of 62 mpg ‑US (3.8 L/100 km 74 mpg ‑imp) equivalent (MPG equivalent). The Volt's regenerative braking also contributes to the on-board electricity generation.

In rare circumstances, such as speeds in excess of 80 mph (129 km/h) or the need for quick acceleration for high-speed passing on the highway, if it reaches maximum output of the electric motors, the engine may briefly be mechanically linked (by a clutch) to a generator set, adding a 10% to 15% boost in power to the drive train and improve energy efficiency. From there, its internal combustion engine powers an electric generator to extend the vehicle's range as needed.

The Volt operates as a pure battery electric vehicle until its battery capacity drops to a predetermined threshold from full charge. As of December 2019, the Chevrolet Volt is listed as the all-time top-selling plug-in hybrid in the American market. Until December 2018, the Volt/Ampera family of vehicles was the world's all-time best-selling plug-in hybrid vehicle. Just over 10,000 Opel/Vauxhall Ampera cars had been sold in Europe as of June 2016.
is the leading market, with 157,054 Volts delivered through the end of 2019, followed by Canada with 16,653 Volts sold through September 2018. Global combined Volt/Ampera-family sales totaled about 177,000 units by the end of October 2018. Sales of the 2011 Volt began in the United States in mid-December 2010, followed by various European countries and other international markets in 2011. It is possible the copper wires simply melt.The Chevrolet Volt is a plug-in hybrid manufactured by General Motors, also marketed in rebadged variants as the Holden Volt in Australia and New Zealand, Buick Velite 5 in China, and with a different fascia as the Vauxhall Ampera in the United Kingdom and as the Opel Ampera in the remainder of Europe. The internal electric wiring of the motor is also not up to specs for the higher current, also resulting in more heat generation. The motor runs at a faster speed which generates more heat and its casing is not designed to dissipate all this extra heat. Going to a higher voltage is more dangerous and can easily destroy the motor. At some point the motor will simply not work anymore because the voltage is too low to overcome the internal friction of the motor. It will still work, but at a lower speed and with less force. Going to a lower voltage is mostly not a problem for the motor in the sense that it can be damaged. Some will work with a wide variety of voltages, others will not tolerate more than ☐.5v. Every motor is designed to work with a specific optimal voltage in mind, but, within certain limits, will work with other voltages too. You are right when you say that motors have some tolerance in the voltage they work with. As Ken said, they are not the same motors.
