Okay help me out here. GM is ceasing production of the Volt, their premier hybrid vehicle, and a pretty good one at that. It’s very competitive with the much more expensive Tesla. At the same time GM’s long term goal is to stop production of all fossil fuel powered vehicles and move solely to electrics by I believe 2030. Anybody else see a disconnect here?

The Volt was electric only for about 35 miles than a gas engine kicked in to power the electric motor. The Chevy Bolt I believe is 100% electric. I prefer the Volt method since there is no range anxiety but the idea didn’t take off, at least for Chevy. Toyota Prius is an example of a gas / hybrid that has sold well with an 11.3 gallon tank and 600 mile range.

Sounds like France's newly passed law to stop all oil drilling and petrol production by 2040.
