Video: Taking a tour of the Chevy Volt hybrid

The Toyota Prius is the undisputed champion of hybrid cars at the moment. But there are many others on its tail, with Honda about to undercut the price of the Prius with its new Insight, and this American competitor from General Motors. Take a look at Lesley Stahl from US news programme 60 Minutes as she gets up close with the Chevy Volt.

Helping her through a brief tour of the car is Bob Lutz, vice chairman of GM, who claims the Chevy Volt could mean that 78 per cent of Americans never have to fill up at the petrol station again. -Jason Jenkins

60 minutes is produced by CNET UK's parent company CBS.
