Tech, Transport Converge with Chevy Volt App
If you have any interest in the world of technology and gadgets, you probably followed the exciting news last week from the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
One announcement that caught my eye was OnStar’s mobile application for the new Chevrolet Volt. Motorists will be able to track and control nearly everything in their automobile, from its mileage to when it gets charged, all by using the app on an Apple iPhone, Motorola Droid or BlackBerry Storm.
The Volt, as you may know, promises to go 40 miles on a single electric charge with zero carbon emissions, after that the gas engine kicks in to provide long-distance driving. Why only 40 miles of emissions-free driving? The company says its engineers determined 75 percent of drivers go less than 40 miles each day. The car is scheduled to hit the roads sometime near the end of 2010, estimated to cost around $40,000.
