Brent Dewar, a Vice President at Chevrolet, revealed at the L.A. Autoshow that iPhone and Blackberry apps would be launched for the Chevy Volt (the 230 mpg mostly electric car). One slide during Dewar’s presentation showed that the Volt’s battery could be monitored remotely through the apps. It is also expected that Onstar features will be available via the apps. These features could include door lock/unlock, remote start and vehicle location reporting. A real win for those who forget where they park!
