More details are emerging about the bells and whistles of the soon to be launched Chevy Volt electric car such as remote control capabilities via a smart phone. The mobile functionality which will be powered by OnStar will be available on the Droid, the iPhone and Blackberry smartphones.
Chevy Volt owners will be able to check how much of a charge is left on the car as well as a schedule or start a charge (assuming it's plugged in). Alerts can even be sent from the car to email about charging status .. very cool. Drivers can also lock and unlock the doors and start the AC or heating from up to a mile away.
The smartphone remote control features certainly won't be limited to the Chevy Volt. Nissan, Toyota and Ford are expected to provide similar functionality in their electric vehicles
