Since I choose to ignore GM and this damn Volt thing that Obunga so highly approved of, I was unaware it was not 100% electric. Thought it was just a big golf cart like that Datsun Leaf thing?

I don't blame you for not knowing because when the Volt first came out, a lot of anti-EV pundits did their best to mislead people into thinking that you would get stranded in a Volt if the battery ran out.

Unfortunately, a lot of people got their first impression of the Volt in that way and don't realize that it just turns into a regular gasoline car when the 40-mile battery runs out.

Oh by the way, the Volt was announced in 2007 before Obama was elected. Also, all that stuff about it catching on fire turned out to be baloney as well.

In my opinion, driving a Volt is a good way for Americans to stick it to OPEC.
