Chevrolet wants to dispel existing uncertainties among the US buyers. In the meantime, President Barack Obama got a first impression of the Volt electric vehicle.

Chevrolet sets the warranty period for the Volt's battery at eight years or 160,000 kilometers. The warranty applicable to US customers covers all 161 battery components of the electric vehicle as well as for the heat management system, the charging system and the electric drive components. In addition, this can also be transferred to other vehicle owners.

Exceeded expectations

"The batteries in the Chevrolet Volt have far exceeded our performance expectations and are ready to go," said Micky Bly, GM's executive director of global electrical systems. "Our US customers are committed to a technology that helps to reduce our dependence on petroleum. Conversely, we are committed to our customers and offer them the highest standards in terms of value, safety, quality, performance and reliability with an unprecedented eight Years / 100,000 miles guarantee."

The production of the electric car is to start shortly. The Chevrolet is due to arrive in Germany at the end of 2011, at the same time as the identical sister model, the Opel Ampera.

Obama visits the factory

In the meantime, Barack Obama has got a first impression of the electric car. The President of the United States visited the Compact Power battery plant in Holland, Michigan on Thursday and took a seat in the Volt. LG Chem, the parent company of Compact Power, manufactures the battery cells for the Volt. (AG)
