By George on June 8th, 2012

For the 2013 model year, Chevrolet Volt’s all electric range is improved by 3 miles and is now up to 38 miles before to on board combustion engine/generator kicks in.

The miles per gallon equivalent (MPGe) will increase from 94 miles to 98 miles and the total range, including extended range operation, will be 380 miles.

Based on real-world experience by Volt owners since the vehicle launched in late 2010, engineers made minor changes to the material composition of the battery cell chemistry, resulting in improved performance and durability. Manganese spinel chemistry remains the foundation for the Volt’s battery system, but the amount of each material has been slightly modified to provide better life performance.
