General Motors Co., which introduced the Volt in 2010, said its 2014 Chevrolet Spark plug-in can travel 82 miles (132 kilometers) when fully charged, in its latest attempt to attract new customers for green cars.
The battery-only vehicle’s combination of range and miles-per-gallon equivalent, or MPGe, represent an “industry benchmark in retail electric vehicle efficiency,” according to a statement today from Detroit-based GM. A Spark allows drivers to travel the equivalent of 119 miles per gallon in combined city and highway conditions, according to EPA estimates.
