battery warranty requirement for enhanced advanced technology partial zero @ - @ emissions vehicles ( enhat @ - @ pzev ). the volt team explained that for the launch general motors decided to go with a common national package which includes an 8 @ - @ year 100 @, @ 000 @ - @ mile ( 160 @, @ 000 km ) battery warranty. for this reason owners of the 2011 volt did not qualify for california's rebates and free access to use carpool lanes even when traveling solo. a third package, scheduled for 2013, is under development with an e85 flex @ - @ fuel engine.

general motors engineering team commented that " introducing two or three packages of an entirely new technology set and platform at the same time wasn't an option. " in february 2012 general motors began deliveries of a low emission version destined for california that features a new low emissions package that allows the 2012 chevrolet volt to qualify as an enhanced, advanced technology – partial zero emissions vehicle ( enhat @ - @ pzev ) and have access to california ’ s high @ - @ occupancy vehicle lanes ( hov ). the new standard california version of the volt features a modified engine and exhaust components. the catalytic converter was modified
