Chevrolet aren’t known for their economising, planet-saving expertise. Instead, they’re best known for their completely at-odds gas guzzling cars that actively laugh in the face of polar bears. However, that’s a wholly unfair and out-dated reputation that is rapidly changing. Sure, like many major companies, they’re perhaps not as quick on their feet as – say – Tesla Motors, but like the young whipper-snapper, Chevrolet has the…
