The show car represents the first step toward building a test fleet of at least 50 electric Volvo C30s that will be on the road in 2011. Volvo Cars first presented a basic, driveable electric car prototype in September, 2009. The C30 to be shown in Detroit takes the company one step further in the development process as this vehicle features a complete interior, full instrumentation and as well as enhanced battery packaging. "The first prototype helped us identify the main technological challenges, such as battery packaging and safety issues," says Lennart Stegland, Director of Volvo Cars Special Vehicles. "We have addressed these challenges without compromising the C30's cool and fun-to-drive personality." The next step in 2010 is a factory-built series of test cars. Selected users will drive the test fleet during a twoyear trial period during which time Volvo Cars will collect valuable, real-world technical data as well as feedback on the user's driving behaviour with an electric car. The electric C30 looks like a regular Volvo C30 and it offers the same safety, comfort and roominess as the standard car. The most obvious difference is inside the car with unique instruments. The driving experience is also different to that in a conventional car. The electric C30 has no transmission gears and the motor's power is delivered seamlessly, with maximum torque available immediately. An electric motor uses approximately one-fourth as much energy as an engine running on fossil fuels. The Volvo C30 shown in Detroit is powered by Lithium-Ion batteries that can be recharged via either a regular household power socket or special roadside charging stations. Charging the battery fully takes about eight hours. Top speed with a fully charged battery pack is about 130 km/h. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes less than 11 seconds and maxi10mum range is up to 150 km. 12 HOUR SALE 10am-10pm 2009 300C HEMI UNREAL! $ 2010 GRAND CARAVAN BRAND NEW ONE DAY $ ONLY! 18,777 · Full Sto `N Go Seating · Power windows · Power locks · Cruise control · Tilt steering · Keyless entry 2010 DODGE JOURNEY ONE DAY $ ONLY! 18,777 · 4 cyl · 42 m/gal · Front wheel drive · Power windows · Power locks · A/C BRAND NEW 2008 DODGE AVENGER SXT $ 10,777 GUELPH · V6 · Alloys · Well Equipped Vehicles do not include taxes, delivery, admin, etching.
