Chevrolet Plays the Name Game with Paint Color for Upcoming Volt

We know the Chevrolet Volt is going to be green, but what color will it be?


Chevy is staging a contest to officially name the color of the Volt, and it's down to three finalists: EV-ergreen, environMINT and Viridian Joule. Two of the names were submitted by California residents, and one came from Florida.


Consumers can now vote at www.chevroletvoltage.com through 8 a.m. Eastern on Dec. 1 to choose the winner. The person who submitted the winning name will get to test-drive a preproduction Volt.


The Chevy Volt is the much-anticipated extended range vehicle due by the end of next year. It will be able to travel 40 miles on a single electrical charge, before a generator kicks in to extend the capability to more than 300 miles. Chevy has said the car could get 230 miles per gallon.
