It’s no surprise that Chevrolet earned three spots on Strategic Vision’s Most Loved Vehicles List of 2016. Like the annual J.D.

The Chevy Volt is a plug-in electric hybrid vehicle, so it is powered by a battery, gas or a combination of both. Thanks to Chevy’s use of regenerative braking, the Volt has an excellent battery range of 53 miles and when the gas and battery systems work together, the Volt has a combined city/highway range of 106 MPGe.
