When it comes to the technology of electric cars I am a bit of an auto-techno peasant but I recently had a chance to test drive the new 2013 Chevy Volt at a Chevy-sponsored TravelingMom retreat in Orlando and got all my questions answered.
“Spark” is a very appropriate name for Chevy’s first mini car built for North America. I had the opportunity to test drive the 2013 Chevy Spark on a recent Chevy-sponsored retreat in Orlando.
