Well if you did read through this entire thread, you would have realized that every single person contributing here is pro Volt.
When I first heard that the Volt was going to be the first EV to be sold as a normal vehicle, I was thrilled. Finally, a true EV that looked and performed like a regular car. That is a HUGE accomplishment.
I think many don't really realize the significance of being able to say "This car runs on 100% electricity!!!" Have you ever seen some of the solutions over the years?
How about the challenges? The biggest have already been mentioned here but others such as how does the Volt produce heat or A/C for the passengers when the generator is not on? How do you run braking and steering on an electric vehicle and still make it feel like a normal car? That sort of stuff is easier to accomplish in a hybrid.
It is just disappointing to find out that it is not 100% EV. "So what" say many but I guess you just won't understand where I'm coming from.
