The Volt was originally called a plug-in hybrid, which is probably how the engineers talked about it, but then the marketing department got ahold of it and it became an EV. Now the writers are screaming because GM did something logical to aid performance but, in effect, making the car not a true EV. I agree that the parsing of words is designed more to rain on the Volt's parade and give Nissan ammo for selling it's glorified golf cart.
