Engine
The Volt battery has gone through numerous environment-specific tests, including corrosion and hot- and cold-weather testing and the results were so promising that the 16-kWh lithium-ion battery pack is backed by an 100,000-mile/8-year limited warranty(4).
Here are a few more notes on the battery:
Volt offers an EPA-estimated 35 miles of initial EV range offering a gas-free and tailpipe emissions-free commute for about $1.50 of electricity per day
When the battery is depleted, a small, quiet onboard gas generator creates electricity that powers your Volt as you drive for hundreds of additional miles
Lithium-ion cells outperform nickel-metal hydride cells (found in today's hybrid vehicles) in terms of life cycle
A liquid thermal cooling and heating system keeps the battery at a comfortable temperature as it's being charged and discharged
Commute gas-free on electricity(3) for an average of $1.50 a day
Can be set to charge during off-peak hours for greater savings
Your Volt will be fully charged in about 10 hours, depending on climate, with standard 120-volt line, or as little as 4 hours using a dedicated 240-volt line

Technology Pick your mode: The Volt has been programmed with three unique driving modes to accommodate different driving styles.
Normal mode is the most efficient setting that takes the electricity and focuses it on operating the electric drive.
Sport mode sacrifices a small amount of efficiency for more responsive acceleration.
Mountain mode makes sure the battery has a bigger energy reserve for driving up long, steep inclines.
