I can drive to New York from California with no range anxiety, yet on a normal day I use $1.10 worth of electricity to drive 40 miles. We have used 22 gallons of gasoline in 5600 miles, about 233 miles per gallon. 300 mile non-stop round trips aren't a big deal at 75 mph, and will get a speeding ticket on any grade in the Western US. It refuels 9 gallons of gas in a couple of minutes, and recharges in 3.5 hours, or 8 hours on 120v standard wall outlet.

The Volt has a gasoline engine so it piggybacks on the current gasoline infrastructure, we are talking about a true EV/battery powered car. So, with that in mind, can I drive from New York to Harrisburg, VA? Jackson, MS to Bismark, ND? Or Boise, ID to Anchorage, AK?
