General Motors and its subsidiary OnStar say they are partnering with Pecan Street Inc. in order to gain access to real-world driving and charging patterns in a community of concentrated Chevrolet Volt owners who also live in managed-energy “smart homes.”

Chevrolet made 100 Volts available for purchase on a priority basis last September to residents participating in Pecan Street Inc.’s demonstration project in Austin, Texas.
