eREV Chevy conversions from Via Motors

40 miles pure electric then 400 miles using conventional fuel, this is an extended range electric vehicle with a power train  similar in concept to the Chevy Volt with a claimed average 100 MPGe.

Developed by US company Via Motors (featuring ex GM CEO Bob Lutz as a Non Exec Director), this is a Chevy conversion, the pick-up being part of a range of plug-in vehicles to include a 4x4 SUV and cargo van to be launched by the company at next month's North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

Not surprisingly, Via Motors are targeting fleet customers. Good luck to them.
