Biodiesel Cars Feature: The New Chevrolet Volt
General Motor’s new car, the Chevrolet Volt is officially unveiled at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit last Sunday. Being previously accused as the company that killed electric cars, GM got back at their critics with the Chevrolet Volt Sedan, which can run on both batteries and fuel. What’s more, its engine is built around biodiesel gas and not imported fuel.
This makes the Volt as the latest addition to the potent collection of today’s biodiesel cars. Biodiesel gas, which is mockingly referred to as the frying pan fuel, is currently making raves today as the cheapest and most environment-friendly car fuel. It is even possible to make such a fuel out of your own home – all you really need is a good electric heater and the necessary compounds, of course.
However, the Volt is more of an electric car than anything else. The biodiesel fuel loaded to it is normally used as back up. General Motors say that the Volt can run on 40 miles on a full battery charge. Essentially, its battery cells can answer the daily mileage requirements of everyday car uses. Its biodiesel gas, on the other hand, can answer for the long ride requirements and for the usual mistake of forgetting to charge the car.
