Test-driving the new Chevrolet Volt at CES

LAS VEGAS—Yesterday at CES Chevrolet formally unveiled the Bolt, its new, battery-powered electric vehicle. But the Bolt wasn't the only EV that the company brought to Las Vegas. Joining the pre-production prototypes at the little test track it laid on for journalists were a pair of Volts—plug-in hybrid EVs that are now on their second generation. We got our first drive of the new Volt back in October of last year when Tiffany Kelly checked it out in the Bay Area, but as the cars were on hand, taking a second look (and the opportunity to drive it a bit) seemed like a wise idea.

The first-generation Volt taught Chevrolet quite a lot about electric vehicles, and its enthusiastic fan base provided the company with a lot of feedback that has been incorporated into the new car. The interior is much-improved, as is the powertrain, which is both lighter and more powerful than before. The car combines an electric motor and 18.4 kWh battery with a 1.5L direct-injection gasoline engine that exists mainly to charge the batteries but which also sends power to the front wheels when it makes sense to do so.

Next London Ars meet: January 28

Join Ars UK for a pint and welcome its newest editor, Kelly Fiveash.

Happy new year, Arsians! I come bearing exciting news.

A new hire

Kelly Fiveash, Ars Technica UK's new taco editor.

To begin with, we have a new hire. After a very successful first year (we grew from around 400,000 readers to 1.5 million), the Powers That Be decided that we deserved another writer. You will be unsurprised to hear that it's rather hard to find someone who is up to the task of writing for Ars Technica—but still, after a couple of months and a final interview stage where I quizzed a half-dozen applicants on their knowledge of Latin, I finally settled on Kelly Fiveash.

Kelly comes to us after more than eight years at The Register, another large UK tech site. Prior to that she was a freelance music journalist and night-shift worker at The Guardian, and before that an IT helpdesk bod. She lives in north London with a blond chihuahua called Señor and spends most of her spare time listening to an album called What?! by the Atomic Bomb! Band (she's still a music nerd). Kelly has a lot of experience covering UK tech, IT, security, and policy—four areas that I'd like to expand on here at Ars Technica.
