And expanding transmission lines / towers.

One has to stop every 35 miles for another eight hour re-charge ?

No, one does not. The Volt has a gas engine that will kick in to run a generator to charge the batteries (it does not drive the wheels directly). If you have a short commute, as do many drivers, the gas engine might kick in very rarely. If you are going on a 200 mile vacation, you would use gas for much of the drive.

Da’yam, I wouldn’t quite make it to work, then where would I plug it in, to then not quite be able to get back home?

Phuck it, it’s a Chevy and I would never own one anyway.
