Less hard plastic in cabin They don’t make “strippers” like they used to. Boomers will know what I mean: cheap base-model cars of their youth with all the creature comforts of a cardboard box — gutless beaters with manual transmissions and tinny radios; no air conditioning, power windows, mirrors or door locks, and with all the appeal of a tax audit.

[ad#post_ad]GM’s director of hybrid and electric powertrain engineering, Larry Nitz, took time out of a Volt prototype fleet 99% calibration drive in the mountains, valleys and roads of Southern California to take some questions from journalists.
In this teleconference, which I attended, he made the announcement that in addition to a sport and normal mode, the Volt will also have a mountain mode operation. This will be a driver-selectable option that acts to ensure the battery has a bigger reserve than usual, and can be put into effect either during EV or extended range driving. Nitz explains the Volt’s engine is “downsized,” meaning it can only generate 55kw of power whereas the electric motor can output 110 kw, relying on the other half of its extended-range power needs from the battery. In some circumstances such as a steep high acceleration hill climb then, the car’s “performance could deteriorate.” Regular readers may remember a post here in August 2008.
