Before a vehicle hits the dealerships for sale to customers, the designers, engineers and the vehicle itself, go through numerous tests to make sure the buyer never comes across any issues. All that gets even more difficult when you’re introducing a vehicle in the market with new technology – like the 2011 Chevrolet Volt.

General Motors has just released a video of the Volt undergoing heat testing at 95 degrees Celsius (greater than 200 degrees Fahrenheit).

Of course, GM could just drive to some hot desert in the United States, but why leave frigid Detroit when you can create your own solar heat in Motor City.
