A Chevrolet motor is
newly planning to launch new hybrid car model. This is one of the
strategic step taken by American company Chevrolet and planning to have
advanced lead in future technology. Regarding names of this model, it is still
awaited to be announced from company officials.But this upcoming car is all set
to come sooner in Indian market.

kmpl in petrol.
What is usual and same?

Interior styling and theme will be all copied

Interior features will be same as Spark.
The
exterior of the Chevrolet Electric car does not look drastically different than a regular Spark
aside from a shiny, closed-up front
grill. Although dozens of aerodynamic tweaks have been made to the exterior,
most are not noticeable to the untrained eye. That was the plan from the start
for Chevrolet; create an EV version of the Spark that gives up nothing to the
conventional internal combustion (ICE) version of the city car. The battery
pack needed to be packaged completely under the car with no passenger or cargo
space sacrificed; the inside dimensions needed to remain similar.
Chevrolet’s
MyLink infotainment is standard and features all the vehicle charging stations
in OR and CA through the BringGo navigation app. As with all Chevrolet Sparks,
the EV is full of hard plastic interior pieces, and does not have a telescopic
steering wheel which makes it difficult for some to find a comfortable seating
position. But there is a good amount of headroom, decent sightlines and fairly
comfortable seating for four.
Chevrolet Electric Car has a lot to owe the Volt for its existence.
The charging system is similar to that of the Volt, with a few modifications.
The battery also uses technology learned from Volt program, and in theSpark EV is a 21 kWh lithium-ion comprised of
336 cells. The battery is located under the cargo floor and rear seats and
improves the Spark EV’s weight
distribution to an almost perfect 50/50 front to rear. This battery will return
to a full charge from empty in 17 hours with a regular 120V household outlet, 7
hours with a stage two 240V charger, or 80% full in just 20 minutes with a
stage three fast charger. However, the stage three DC chargers will not be
available until late Q4 2013 and should cost an extra $750. As with most
electric vehicles, the Spark EV will come with an eight year, 100,000
mile warranty on the battery.
