The Chevy Volt appeared today at the Chevy exhibit at the Woodward Dreams Cruise, right next to the convertible Camaro. Reports are that the Camaro got more attention?!
The little gallery is thanks to one of GM-Volt regulars who attended the event. Click to view.

Any chance of finding out whether GM will offer a 220 Volt 40 or 50 amp charger option? I know the battery can accept anything my electrical panel can put out. At 220 Volts, 40 amps, a full recharge would only take about 50 minutes. I could run a GFI 220/40 circuit along my garage wall to my parking space in an leisurely afternoon.

I’m glad that GM keeps displaying the Volt so prominently, even though a lot of people don’t really understand its relevance yet. My confidence keeps building that GM is not planning to “EV1″ this vehicle.
It seems ironic that the Camaro was getting more attention, but I guess that makes sense. I can imagine that back in the late 1800’s, people were gathered around the horse drawn concept carriages … oohing over their sexy new lines while the weird looking “auto-mobile” in the corner was pretty much ignored.
Love the Volt pictures. Thanks!!

When I saw the Volt at the DC Auto Show, the Volt had a deeper crowd surrounding it than any other car, people definitely ‘got it’.

That would be ironic that people “get it” more in Washington DC about the Volt than in Detroit…

The Camaro probably got more attention because of its prominent product placement in Transformers.

I think that the Volt is a better car than the Camaro. My friend owns a Camaro and it’s a nice, powerful car. She loves it and was selected to be a member of a focus group in developing it. I think it’s a sexy car and I did love it in the Transformers movie when it was the camo-bot form of Bumblebee. But the Camaro doesn’t make me interested in GM, the Volt does. It’s just my perspective drawn from my own experience, but the Camaro, and any sports car really, just seems to me to be a girl’s car. My belief is that guys like sports cars because girls like sports cars, not because we truly love them ourselves. You do have to take it out to the track to get full use out of it. The Volt is more a man’s urban vehicle. Utilitarian to the max, but plenty powerful. A beautiful vehicle with max torque off-the-line. The Camaro is Prada, and car enthusiasts can fawn over it all they want. The Volt, though, is the thing that does all you want and you don’t care what it’s named!
