Vancouver EV Association gives Chevy Volt four stars

We invited members of the Vancouver Electric Vehicle Association to drive the two Chevrolet Volts visiting the city for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Forty of the Association’s members had an opportunity to learn much more about the Volt and it also allowed us to get feedback from enthusiasts with years of electric car driving experience.

Their ratings: Safety - five stars; styling and design - four stars; efficiency outlook - four stars; electric drive components - four stars; recharging systems and times - four stars; mobile interface - five stars. Overall, the group gave the Volt a rating of four stars.

"GM has made a huge leap into the 21st Century by pursuing the Volt," according to the review on EV World, which you can read here.
