Built on a platform that GM calls the E-flex System, the Volt is a battery-powered electric car that has a range of 40 city miles after a six-hour charge from a household electrical outlet – which would make it a viable, gas-free daily driver for Americans whose one-way work commute is 20 miles or less. That’s 78 percent of all American workers, according to GM car czar Bob Lutz.

The Volt’s sharp-angle body style evokes current Cadillacs. Lutz said the car proves that “environmentally conscious cars can actually look good, as well.”
