The fellow that was going to trademark "range anxiety" was off on his own, that wasn't a company decision.
It astonishes me the amount of discussion over what seems like rather minor points. I was disappointed right away that the Volt burnt any gas, since that meant it was not the EV2 I was hoping for. After driving it, and being unable to get the ICE to kick in even with the pedal all the way to the floor, I was impressed.
As I read it, the ICE stays off until the battery is "depleted." I like that that mark is defined in software and I hope that after a bunch of real world testing that there's a firmware 2.0 that changes where that mark is.
But, in general, this is a lot of talk about something which we will know for sure about in about three weeks. Or, at least, I will. And I'll let you know. It might be meaningless.
