How many gallons does a Chevy Volt hold?
The Chevy Volt’s gasoline fuel tank holds about 9 gallons. This is the conventional figure cited in official specs and owner manuals across the two generations of the car.
Fuel tank capacity by generation
The Volt was produced in two generations. Both used a compact gasoline tank designed to complement the plug‑in electric range, so the capacity remained broadly similar.
- Gen 1 — 2011 to 2015: 9.0 U.S. gallons (34 liters).
- Gen 2 — 2016 to 2019: 9.0 U.S. gallons (34 liters).
Note: Some sources list 9.3 gallons for certain markets or early production runs. For precise figures, consult the window sticker or owner's manual for your exact year and region.
Context for range and ownership
Because the Volt is a plug‑in hybrid, a portion of its driving is electric, and the gasoline tank serves as a backup. The near‑uniform 9‑gallon size means most owners expect several hundred miles of total range when the battery is depleted; actual range depends on driving style, terrain, and weather.
Summary: Across its generations, the Chevy Volt has carried roughly a 9‑gallon gasoline tank, with minor year‑to‑year or market variations.
