A look at hybrids, clean diesels, and EVs rolling out for 2010
2011 Chevrolet Volt
You've probably heard enough about the upcoming 2011 Chevy Volt to keep you satiated for a while. But to recap, the Volt promises to run up to 40 miles on no gasoline whatsoever; drive more than that and a small, fuel-efficient gasoline engine starts up to charge the batteries as you drive. This "extended-range electric vehicle" is significantly different than hybrids like the Toyota Prius, so much so that the EPA is devising a new method of rating them for mileage. Chevy claims that the Volt will get an amazing 230 mpg on this new cycle. Even if Chevy's estimate is twice as high as reality eventually dictates, it's still pretty amazing mileage.
