Jeffery Kaffe first customer to take delivery of 2011 Chevrolet Volt

Earlier this morning at Gearhart Chevrolet in Denville, NJ, retired airline pilot Jeffrey Kaffee became the first customer in the United States to take delivery of a 2011 Chevrolet Volt.

Kaffee, who traded in his Toyota Prius for the Volt, returned early from a vacation to pick up his car at Gearhart Chevrolet. Kaffee’s Volt is one of the first 360 units being shipped from the Detroit-Hamtramck assembly plant. Others are being delivered Chevrolet dealers in the Washington, D.C., area and are en route to California and Austin, Texas.

Check out the video of Kaffee driving away in his 2011 Chevrolet Volt after the jump.

Refresher: The 2011 Chevrolet Volt is powered by 16-kWh, “T”-shaped lithium-ion battery that powers the electric drive unit, which allows it to drive 40 miles on battery power alone. The system puts out 149-hp and a maximum torque of 273 lb-ft, allowing the Volt to go from 0-60 mph in about 9 seconds, hitting a top speed of 100 mph. The battery can be re-charged by plugging into a household outlet and takes 4 hours to recharge on 240 volts, and about 10-12 hours on a standard 120-volt outlet. The Chevrolet Volt also carries an 84-hp 1.4 4-clyinder engine that allows the five-door, FWD sedan to travel additional miles while averaging a fuel-economy of 50 mpg. A fully charged battery and full tank of gas will allow the Volt to travel 340 miles. The 2011 Chevrolet Volt gets an EPA estimated 93 miles per ’gallon-equivalent’ when driving under electric power only, 37 mpg when in gasoline mode and over the long term it is estimated to get 60 miles per gallon in combined gasoline-powered and electric-powered driving. Prices for the 2011 Chevrolet Volt start at $41,000 but with a full federal income tax credit (which range from $0 to $7,500), the Volt can cost a total of $33,500.
