Vehicles where both the internal combustion engine and the electric motor transmit power to the drivetrain are known a parallel hybrids.

Vehicles where only the electric motor transmits power to the drivetrain but has an ICE acting as a gererator, are known a series hybrids.

Both types of cars are hybrids. Thus, the Volts is a HEV not an EV.
