It also has an electronic parking brake, cruise control, keyless entry and ignition, remote start, 60/40-split folding rear seats, automatic climate control, power windows and doors, a rearview camera, a cargo cover, and a leather-wrapped tilt and telescoping steering wheel with audio controls. Standard features on the LT trim include 17-inch painted aluminum wheels, low-rolling-resistance tires, automatic LED low-beam headlights, halogen high-beam headlights, LED daytime running lamps and taillights, and power and body-colored exterior mirrors. The 2017 Volt has a single-speed direct-drive transmission powering the front wheels. The gasoline engine kicks in to help the electric motors when the car requires quick acceleration for passing or climbing steep inclines. The battery also charges on the fly by the gas engine/generator through regenerative braking.

The battery fully recharges in approximately 13 hours at 120 volts, or in about 4.5 hours at 240 volts.

The car's 18.4kWh lithium-ion battery pack powers the two electric motors and is recharged by connecting a supplied 120-volt portable cord or a professionally installed 240-volt charging system into a lighted plug in the driver's side front fender.
