I guess for the right people it can work.

My main point was they need to increase the distance you can go on a single charge before it becomes practical.
But you're not. Like I said, most Americans can drive to work and back on the EV range. It already is practical, in fact it's the most practical electric car on the market.

Increasing range = larger battery = higher price. You're already paying for basically two powertrains in one car. Volt offers a good balance of both worlds.
