The Chevy Volt will launch in 2010. It's a hybrid vehicle that can run up to 40 miles on its batteries alone.

The Volt project has been gigantic. More than 200 engineers and 50 designers have worked on the Volt alone. 400 others are working on related subsystems and electric components.

That's how important this is, and that's how much stock we place in the future of extended-range electric vehicles like the Chevy Volt.

The Extended-Range Electric Vehicle that is redefining the automotive world is no longer just a rumor. In fact, its propulsion system is so revolutionary, it's unlike any other vehicle or electric car that's ever been introduced. And we're making this remarkable vision a reality, so one day you'll have the freedom to drive gas-free.

Gas-free. How soon did you think you'd see a car that didn't use gas - not a single drop of gas? The Chevy Volt is designed to move more than 75 percent of American's daily commuters without a drop of gas. That means for someone who drives less than 40 miles a day, Chevy Volt will use zero gasoline and produce zero emissions.

Unlike traditional electric cars, Chevy Volt has a revolutionary propulsion system that takes you beyond the power of the battery. It will use a lithium-ion battery with a gasoline-powered, range-extending engine that drives a generator to provide electric power when you drive beyond the 40-mile battery range.

So are you sick of the bad news? Are you sick of the gas pump? Then get ready. The Chevy Volt will be the envy of other car makers. And it will jumpstart a whole new era of vehicles.

Can you imagine that? Try. Then try to imagine the Volt in your driveway, not afraid of what's ahead.
