A question came up related to the new Chevrolet VOLT extended range plug-in electric vehicle from a reader who is following the VOLT series I have been writing. Specifically, I think everyone is aware that this new model car has extensive ultra-high strength steel within its crashworthy structure. The point I want to make however is that the door hinges, the door latch mechanisms, and all parts of the door itself (except the collision beam inside the door cavity) are NOT made of these Advanced Steels. All these items are standard, mild steel and can be dealt with just as we have done for ever on jammed door opening or door removal tasks.
Here is the VOLT that I cut up with members of Chicago FD as part of a live demonstration at Fire Rescue International in Chicago.
