General Motors Co. (GM), 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 Spark can be fully refueled in about seven hours using a 240-volt charger

GM Says Plug-In Electric Spark Has 82-Mile Range on Full Charge – Bloomberg

That is awesome. You drive 82 miles in a couple of hours, and then wait seven hours to recharge (assuming you can find a 240 volt charger.) That works out to 9 MPH, so you could drive coast to coast in only two or three months.

And it runs off clean burning electricity!
