Read the full What Car? Chevrolet Volt review bit.ly The Chevrolet Volt is amazingly efficient, it completely eliminates range anxiety, and it's comfortable and relaxing to drive. It's cheaper than the Vauxhall Ampera, too. It's far from cheap to buy, and there's huge uncertainty over its resale values. The cabin plastics aren't particularly appealing and rear visibility is rubbish. The Chevrolet Volt gives all the benefits of an electric car, but because it keeps going when the battery depletes, you won't suffer from any range anxiety. Brilliant.
