Earlier this year, online marketing manager Patrick Wang was selected as one of the winners of the Wired Volt Challenge. He submitted one of the four winning entries to get the main prize, which included a tour of where and how the Chevy Volt gets made. Yesterday, the 25 year old from Berkeley also got the San Francisco Bay Area’s first 2011 Chevy Volt and the 10th off the Detroit assembly line. Patrick Wang is pretty passionate about his new electric vehicle. He’s even started a website about it here.
