“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.
Since GM redesigned the Volt so it looks like a real Car, we would have considered buying one to replace my Wife’s Kia.
I’m not a big fan of all electric Vehicles. The redesigned Volt fills a nice niche. Too bad it didn’t sell enough to keep the Plant open.
