Faculty member owns first Chevy Volt at MSU

Matt Stehouwer, Technology Manager for the College of Natural Science, owns one of ten Chevy Volt extended range electric vehicles in the state of Michigan, and is one of three in the Lansing area. He has had the car since Feb. 11 where he picked it up in New York City and drove back to Michigan. Stehouwer charges his car each night for use the next day, and when the charge is running low, gas is used to generate more electricity for the car to run. Lauren Wood/The State News
