More»trical outlet, much like you already do with your laptop or cell phone. That's the concept behind the 2007 Chevrolet Volt. Dubbed as the next generation electric car, it was the talk of this year's Detroit Auto Show. Capable of running 40 miles on its initial charge, it re-charges itself as it moves down the road.

With new improvements in lithium battery technology, this concept car could soon become a reality. The Volt is expected to be available for consumers in 2010.
