Engineers in England Will Begin Testing Roads That Charge Your Vehicle While You Drive On Them

BAY CITY, Mich. - Electric and hybrid car enthusiasts, listen up: engineers in England will begin testing roads that charge your vehicle while you drive on them! Recently an engineering firm in England stated that it was embarking on an 18-month trial testing roads that charge electric vehicles while they drive on them.

Chevy Volt drivers should definitely perk their ears up, because this could change the electric car game forever! Let's explain how it works... The charging lanes work by creating electromagnetic fields generated by electric cables buried beneath the road. A coil inside the bottom of a car picks up the field and converts it into electricity. The potential to recharge low emission vehicles on the move offers exciting possibilities. The government is already committing £500 million ($569 million) over the next five years.

Usually electric vehicles can only charge while they're in park and the power turned off which is way it's so exciting that engineers in England will begin testing roads that charge your vehicle while you drive on them. Now this technology is far off from being tested by the public, let alone being integrated into the American road system. However, it is refreshing to know that pushes are being made to make driving an electric vehicle easier, therefore more appealing, to the everyday driver.

If an electric vehicle has been on your mind lately, stop by and check out the award-winning Chevrolet Volt! Hank Graff Chevy is located at 3636 Wilder Road, Bay City, MI 48706 and we can help you find the perfect vehicle for your weekend getaway!

Corvette Z06 Ranks Among The Best Values In Production Cars

BAY CITY, Mich. – At $80,000 the Corvette Z06 ranks among the best values in production cars on the market today! Fully loaded, the new Corvette Z06 costs $110,000, but don’t let those six digits scare you, this is one of the best-valued cars on the planet! For what you get under the hood, this new ‘Vette is all about the value, AND it just so happens to be capable of 0-to-60 in 2.95 seconds.

This Corvette can most certainly roll with the big dogs. Whether their name is McLaren, Lamborghini or Ferrari, the 650-horsepower Z06 can definitely keep up with the pack! The Z06 rolls in with an aluminum frame that is lighter and stiffer than the Corvette’s predecessors, allowing Chevy to offer a Z06 convertible for the first time! Plus, every Z06 now comes with the same standard removable roof panel available on other Corvette models.

What is really neat is that the Z06’s name is steeped deep in racing legend. GM first used Z06 in ’63 to specify as the code well-informed buyers could use on their order sheet to purchase a race-ready Corvette. This was actually Chevy’s way of getting around a ban by the Sports Car Club of America against factory-sponsored auto racing. Customers could simply check the box on the order sheet and get a Corvette completely outfitted with all the race parts that a factory-sponsored car would have, but without the repercussions of the ban.

Fast forward to today and the current Corvette Z06 ranks among the best values in production cars currently available on the market. This beast is here to stay! Now if an $80,000 Corvette is out of your price range, but you still want to own your dream car, come and pay us a visit at your Frankenmuth Area Chevy dealership! Hank Graff Chevy is located at 3636 Wilder Road, Bay City, MI 48706 and we are here to help our community grow to become an even better place to call home! For more information on Hank Graff Chevrolet, or for any questions call us at (989) 684-4411 or visit our website: www.GraffBayCity.com.

Camaro Gears Up For The Battle Against The Mustang

BAY CITY, Mich. – Woah! Shots fired as the Camaro gears up for battle against the Mustang. The 2016 Camaro isn’t even going to be revealed until May 16^th on Belle Isle, but that doesn’t stop the back and forth between Ford and Chevy in regards to the Camaro vs. the Mustang. Everyone in the automobile community is eager to see what the next-gen Camaro brings to the table, and how it stacks up against its newly revised rival, the Ford Mustang.

Mark Reuss, GM’s President, stated to Fox News; “I’m very confident. Very confident,” in regards to how the new Camaro will compete with the new Mustang. Reuss also explained that he had driven both cars back to back the week prior, and the enhancements left him quite content that Chevy is well equipped in the pony car wars.  Camaro gears up for the battle against the Mustang, and from what we know now the latest Camaro switched from a full-sized Holden developed Zeta platform to the Alpha platform that the Cadillac CTS and ATS ride on. GM has also opted to infuse more aluminum into the next-gen Camaro, resulting in the new model being 200 pounds lighter.

The all-new 2016 Camaro is expected to bring in a 6.2 liter V8, the same engine that powers the Corvette Stingray. The Camaro will hit with 460 horsepower while, the current Mustang’s 5.0-liter V-8 puts out 435 horsepower. It will definitely be the battle of American muscle once the new Camaro comes out, and we CANNOT wait to see it!

If you would like information on the new Camaro, would like to see or test drive our current Camaros, stop by your Frankenmuth area Chevy dealership! Hank Graff Chevy is located at 3636 Wilder Road, Bay City, MI 48706 and we are here to help our community grow to become an even better place to call home! For more information on Hank Graff Chevrolet, or for any questions call us at (989) 684-4411 or visit our website: www.GraffBayCity.com.

The 2016 Chevy Spark is debuting a more mature look at the New York City Auto Show and it is causing a few heads to turn! With a longer wheelbase and lower roof, the completely redesigned 2016 Chevrolet Spark casts aside the gawky, tall stance for a more adult profile.

The new model looks sleeker and more refined, and gives drivers and passengers more headroom by lowering the seats. Speaking of seats, new seat designs find their way into the new Chevy Spark with high-density foam, promising an improved comfort all around.

The 2016 Chevy Spark is debuting a more mature look, and that extends to a bigger, 1.4-liter engine that packs in an extra 14 horsepower to bring the total up to 98. The most important feature for any small car is safety however, and the Spark will offer the latest in active safety equipment, such as forward-collision alert, lane departure warning, and blind-spot warning.

These great updates and changes have really brought the 2016 Chevy Spark into the forefront of newly updated small cars.
