The 2017-19 Volts can easily go 53 miles when fully charged. The gas engine sends a charge to the battery which powers the electric engine. The Bolt can go at least 238 miles on a charge and do 0-60 in 6.5 seconds. There are now Teslas out there that have over 300,000 miles and still at 80% or better of original battery capacity.
I wish FR had an edit button. The engine only kicks in when the battery is depleted but does not directly power the car. It recharges the battery which powers the electric motor that drives the car.
How much are the taxpayers subsidizing each electric car sold?
