GM can't give you this certificate because neither generation of the Volt can make this claim. Even the first generation Volts had a driving mode where the gas engine would directly propel the car. The second generation "bypasses" the electric motors when running on gas because this is more efficient than using the gas engine to generate electricity and then turning that electricity into power.
Chevrolet electric vehicle certificate - help !
Hello everyone !
I am a happy owner of Volt gen.2 imported from the USA, the car bought on Copart was damaged, but it is now repaired and drives without a problem
I have a problem with registering the car at the office, in Poland electric cars have green electric plates then the car can drive the bus and taxi lane, it has free parking in the city center.
In order to have green license plates, I must have a certificate from Chevrolet that the car is powered only by electricity and the internal combustion engine is only a power generator.
Could someone help me obtain such a document/certificate from Chevrolet?
He can call, write an e-mail for such a document with my VIN number.
Maybe some of you have such a document for your car?
Can I count on help?

I understand you, but with us in Poland there is a recipe that an electric car is an electric vehicle, and so it is in Volt Gen.2.
It is not written anywhere that the car is not to be equipped with an internal combustion engine which is only a power generator.
Such a Polish recipe that is not synonymous with the definition of an electric car
I thought that it would only be possible to get a document in which it would be written that it is driven only with electricity because I do not want a document that it was written in it that it is an electric car because Volt Gen.2 is not it

There are about 10 Volt cars in Poland, I have contact with the owners but none of them has such a document.
Some have green registration numbers in their cars because the official decided so

Here in my state, my Gen2 Volt is considered an EV and has EV license plates. At the time of purchase, the Volt was on a list of EVs that the US government considered EVs and eligible to receive a tax credit.I understand you, but with us in Poland there is a recipe that an electric car is an electric vehicle, and so it is in Volt Gen.2.

Would such a list of "eligible EVs" based on the US government tax credit determination be sufficient information? (I tried to check for you, and it seems the "old rules/list" is very hard to locate...The link below is not exactly what I imagined, but maybe "good enough" for your purposes:

Good Luck!
