The electric vehicle Volt's energy will be depending on the use of the vehicle. Volt is a revolutionary car of new genre which works on new technology. The car maker's General Motors and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency have made a new design which will explain the consumers and car lovers of what car will feature and the experience they will have while they drive the Ev Volt. As per the calculations if some one required to calculate the fuel efficiency of the car, the driver needs to fill the fuel tank and drive it and then by dividing the distance covered by the fuel consumed the driver will get the car's fuel economy rate.

But with the new genre of plug-in cars, as there is no tailpipe emissions, the electric run cars will use the energy and with that the MPG similar (MPGe) is obtained by calculating the electricity used and then converting the same which is based on the energy content in the gasoline per gallon. This MPGe rating will help the buyers to evaluate the electric vehicle Volt's energy efficiency with other vehicles in its car segment. The ev Volt will be using two energy sources, first is the electric source from the grid and the second will be gasoline from the pump. This combination will depend on the distance the driver will cover and as many times the owner will charge the battery of the car. The new Volt may be easy to operate and use but it is coming out to be a complex machine. The fuel economy measures are complex too but the major information is given on the EPA label.
