Is the Chevrolet Volt really an all-electric car been around that it has a gas turbine engine as well?

The Chevrolet Volt is not an all-electric car. It is a plug-in hybrid electric car (PHEV), which means that it has both an electric motor and a gasoline engine. The electric motor is powered by a battery that can be plugged in to an electrical outlet, while the gasoline engine is used to generate electricity when the battery is depleted.

The Volt does not have a gas turbine engine. It uses a 1.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine that is connected to a generator. The generator produces electricity that is used to power the electric motor. When the battery is depleted, the gasoline engine turns on and generates electricity to power the electric motor.

The Volt can travel up to 53 miles on electricity alone. When the battery is depleted, the gasoline engine turns on and extends the car's range to over 400 miles.
