Interesting...my understanding of the Volt was while driving in ICE you could still drop down into EV mode (similar to Prius) but that initially all of the driving is done in EV mode until it is emptied (at 30-40 miles) and then ICE is used exclusively with minor regen to the battery from ICE driving. When I say "emptied" I mean not completely but the percent that EV mode is no longer available and ICE is engaged.
Hence, the 30-40 miles of exclusive EV before ICE kicks in. At that time, while in ICE the EV mode could be used just as the Prius as long as SOC is favorable to do so. I did not think that ICE was available until the battery was discharged...is this correct?
