Been reading up on the new Chevy Volt and to say the least I am very impressed ,what I cant seem to find out is whether the the two drive motors in the front end will pull both front wheels simultaneously in the slick environment (ice and snow ,eg ; .

I would guess it has some kind of traction control.
Don't all cars with ABS have traction control? Don't they use the ABS system for that?

Try this Kevin.

A comment on a car-guy forum stated that the Volt was a pretty good $20,000 electric car. The only problem is it costs closer to $40.000.

Traction control is something completely different than abs. Traction control in most cases involves what in old days was "starting in second gear"
