The way I understand it is that the ICE generates electricity directly to the second electric motor which works in conjunction with the larger electric motor. The second electric motor is like an overdrive gear.

This is all such a huge cluster****. The only people who really know what goes on when a Volt starts moving are the engineers, and they probably can't explain it in terms that everyone will understand.
