Summary:   The new Chevy Volt and a “sort of” leasing option for the new Tesla S. FOX News Radio’s Jeff Monosso with the latest “Fox Wheels”: When the next-generation Chevy Volt makes its market debut in January, it’ll feature an all-new electric propulsion system, says Chevy’s Andrew Farah, improving… (Farah) “The electric range – the fuel economy. And we’re going to improve the perforance.” Current combined range is about 380 miles and expect… (Farah) “An all new interior – and exterior.” But we’ll have to wait to see it. The new Volt’s styling is one of the auto worlds best-kept secrets. We know what the Ford Focus Electric looks like. And it’s gotten a $6,000 price cut for 2014-2015 models coupled with the federal tax credit. The starting price of the Focus Electric around $22,000. Sticker price for the new Tesla S around $71,000. But the company unveiling a option through U.S. bank, allowing buyers in the U.S. to return the car within three months if they’re not satisfied. A “short term lease”.
