The current furor in the automotive press is a bunch of baloney being propagated by a collection of writers that have the combined knowledge of a toadstool!! What the perception will end up being after this is fully aired in the press is it doesn't really make any difference whether the Volt is really an electric car or a hybrid, the fact will remain that it will not move unless there is electricity present (unlike the Prius which will move without any electricity) and that it gets a far better MPG rating (by a factor of 3:1 or 2:1) than any other vehicle on the market today. The end result for the Volt will be more public knowledge of how it works and what awesome MPG ratings it has. Only complete idiots would believe everything that is published without verifying facts (and there are quite a few complete idiots out there, one need only look at the state our country/economy is in to verify that).
