State Rep. John Proos test-drove a Chevrolet Volt around the Capitol yesterday, and praised Southwest Michigan manufactures for their role in shaping the innovative battery system that powers the extended-range electric car.
State Representative John Proos got to test drive a Chevy Volt this week. It’s the new battery-powered vehicle from General Motors that the governor also tried out recently. Proos tells us that the Volt could indicate the future of the automotive industry in Michigan, and he enjoyed the experience. He said he was impressed by the advanced technology that goes into the Volt. For example, Proos noted its regenerative battery system.
He also said that it felt the same as driving a regular car once certain settings were applied. GM is expected to launch the Volt in November.
