Remember, this is an electric car primarily. It's meant for the vast majority of the US population that drives around 40 miles or less per day, with a series generator for the atypical excursions beyond that.

Anyone who buys a Volt and regularly drives long distances is sort of missing the point, as far as energy efficiency goes. (And may even get better mileage from a Prius or TDI - we don't know yet).
