It's America's most fuel efficient compact car (according to the EPA). It's an EV, but it's got a range of 379 miles. Well, technically it's a hybrid, but unlike most hybrids, it's nearly always powered by it's electric motor (only when the battery nears nears depletion does the tiny 1.4-liter, 84-hp gasoline engine kick in).

Despite all the impressive statistics, the Chevy Volt has weathered critique. It's too expensive. It's not really an electric car...

Possibly both true, but the car is still a game changer because it's forcing its owners to really think about where their fuel comes from, every morning and night.

Take Linkedin executive (and our friend) Scott Roberts. His last car was a Prius. Now he's one of California's first thousand owners of a Volt. And unlike with a conventional hybrid, he has to plug in everynight. And again every morning when he arrives at work.
