The Volt concept shows that a hybrid vehicle can actually be stylish, while still being environmentally conscious. Plugged into a 110V household outlet, the Volt can recharge its lithium-ion battery in 6 hours. Fully charged, the Volt can travel up to 40 miles on electric power alone. For longer trips, the Volt can use E85 ethanol to run a 1.0L inline-3 gasoline engine that would recharge the battery for the electric motor.
