This is a Plug in Hybrid. It is not an EV.
For the longest time they said that the gas engine in the Volt is just a generator/range extender. Apparently they haven't been telling the truth. It can power the drivetrain directly.
Why am I not surprised.
Guess what everyone... there's only one EV on the market in Dec... and it's the LEAF.
