Chevrolet Volt

Last night we spoke about the Chevrolet Volt in class, a vehicle that delivers up to 40 miles of gasoline and emissions free electric driving, with the extended range capability of hundreds of additional miles. I believe that this is just the kind of technology innovation that the car industry needs to respond to today's and tomorrow's energy and environmental challenges. The Volt uses electricity to move the wheels at all times and speeds. For trips up to 40 miles, the Volt is powered only by electricity stored in its 16-kWh, lithium-ion battery. When the battery's energy is depleted, a gasoline/E85-powered engine generator seamlessly provides electricity to power the Volt's electric drive unit while simultaneously sustaining the charge of the battery. The Chevrolet Volt can be plugged either into a standard household 120v outlet or use 240v for charging. I think this kind of car is a good idea but we run into a problem when one is not fortunate to live in a house with a garage but live in a building like a girl in my class pointed out. She lives on the 4tth floor. What is she going to run an extension cord out the window?
