Monitoring Chevy Volt's Power Usage

General Motors Co. and OnStar are launching a program to send data instantly from Chevrolet Volts back to the power grid so utilities can better manage their energy demands.
The program uses the Volts' OnStar system to monitor a vehicle's battery charge. Utilities could then better balance demand and offer incentives to electric vehicle owners who charge their vehicles during off-peak hours. The program will include hundreds of Volts leased by General Electric for its employees, according to a GM statement released today.

Chevrolet Volt is the New Police Patrol Car

New York City’s vast fleet of vehicles is getting greener. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the city is acquiring 50 Chevrolet Volts as part of its strategy to cut air pollution, carbon emissions and gasoline consumption.


The Volts are part of a larger group of electric cars to be used by a number of city departments, but the Volts slated to become police patrol cars are likely to get the most attention. General Motors Co. says the Volt will be the first electric car used by the New York City police department.


“This is the latest and largest-ever addition of electric vehicles to the City’s fleet, which is already the largest municipal clean-air vehicle fleet in the nation,” Bloomberg said of the total of 70 new electric vehicles. 


While the car can run for up to 35 miles on battery power alone, it also carries a gasoline engine that kicks in to extend its driving range to a total of up to 379 miles.

Chevrolet to sell Cruze in a Diesel Verison

The Chevrolet Cruze, the most popular car in the U.S. last month, will come in a diesel version that could boost gas mileage to around 50 mpg, two people briefed on General Motors Co. product plans said Monday.
A diesel Cruze would help GM meet more stringent government gas mileage requirements.
An unidentified source said, the diesel Cruze won't hit showrooms until at least 2013.
GM has several diesel-powered cars in other parts of the world, including a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder turbocharged diesel Cruze that's selling well in Australia.
GM will have to use diesel and other technology to meet stricter U.S. fuel economy standards in the coming years.
The diesel Cruze would be built at GM's factory in Lordstown, Ohio, southeast of Cleveland.
