Live Chat Tonight With Chevy Volt Chief Engineer Andrew Farah

By Zach McDonald · April 11, 2011

Tonight at 6 pm EDT, Andrew Farah, chief engineer behind the Chevy Volt, will be joined by Motor Trend technical director Frank Markus, for a live chat at ChevroletVoltage.com.

In February, the Motor Trend team took delivery of its very own Chevy Volt, and Markus has been monitoring and blogging about the staff's experiences with it ever since. As for Farah—who has overseen engineering of all of the Volt's unique components since joining the project in 2007—you'll rarely get a chance to talk to someone with as much top-to-bottom insight into the car. So if you've got any questions relating to the Volt development process, engineering and design, technology, or ownership experience, this is a great opportunity to ask them.

To join the chat, head over to Chevy Voltage or simply log in using the module below:

The new Volt hands down revolutionizes the so-called "electric vehicle". I was suprised when I was already able to find Chevy Volt rebates online
