This was a couple of months ago, IIRC.

Whoops! It's still going on now. Today is 10/30 so they should be in Orlando and Washington D.C.:
A caravan of Chevrolet Volts will embark on a 3,400-mile, cross-country drive showcasing how easy it will be to live with the world's first electric vehicle with extended-range capability.
The tour, dubbed "Volt Unplugged," will give consumers an opportunity to test-drive the Volt, meet the people behind the development of the vehicles – Chevrolet engineers, designers and others – and participate in activities at each stop.
"The Volt Unplugged tour will give people a chance to get behind the wheel of the Volt and find out for themselves what makes this vehicle so special," said Tony DiSalle, Chevrolet Volt product and marketing director. "This drive will demonstrate the one-of-a-kind capabilities of the Volt, the only electric vehicle able to drive such long distances under a variety of driving conditions and climates without having to stop to recharge."
The tour is similar to July's "Freedom Drive," where the Volt completed a three-day 1,776-mile drive from Austin, Texas to New York City to demonstrate the Volt's extended-range capability. Stops on the Volt Unplugged tour include... (then they list the dates and cities -- read the whole article!)
http://www.autotalk.com/cross-country-drive-brings-the-chevrolet-volt-directly-to-consumers-6574/Let me just add the same thing I always say about the Volt. It is a great car! This is the car that GM should have come out with immediately after crushing all the EV-1's if they had any intention of staying in the EV business at the time. Ok, ok. Technically the Volt is NOT an EV because the gasoline engine does engage to help push the vehicle along under certain situations so technically it is a plug-in hybrid (I call it a hybrid plug-in hybrid, just as a lark).
The Volt is a game changing vehicle with amazing technology and GM has the potential for winning the hybrid market race with this vehicle. That being said, my usual criticism is that GM is not making enough of them! In order to bring costs down they need to get production over 100,000 to 200,000 -- like Nissan is doing with the Leaf. GM could easily adapt the technology in the Volt to every vehicle they produce: they could be the world's only "hybrid plug-in hybrid only" auto maker. I know that'll never happen, but they should darn well capitalize on the amazing technology that goes in the Volt.
Personally, however, I have a down payment on a Leaf and hope to see one in my driveway by the end of 2011 (Dallas is not on the list of the first cities to get the Leaf). My reason is that the Leaf is a true electric vehicle. I've purchased my last gas burning vehicle, as I often say, and it has 70,000 miles on it so it will last quite a few more years. I just know my wife is going to steal the Leaf for her (longer) commute. There might be a race for the car keys every morning!
