Sadly, it didn’t burst into flames as Volt’s are known to do.
Via Washington Examiner:
On the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, President Obama revealed that he secretly drove a Chevy Volt owned by a friend.
Obama explained that they “didn’t tell the Secret Service,” but hopped in the electric vehicle and drove around the White House grounds. […]
“That was my big joy ride. Three times around the South Lawn driveway,” Obama joked. “It was wild.”
