When the Volt was announced, I thought, okay the Volt is incorporating the "Prius Plug-In" retrofit concept, and now it's becoming even more like a Prius.
Looks like the Autobahn influenced the decision :
Quote:
General Motors is about to dramatically re-engineer its Volt/Ampera extended-range battery car to better suit it to high-speed European use.
...
During the car's development, GM increased the capacity of the petrol engine from one to 1.4 litres to maintain the charging performance, but the single-speed electric motor starts to run out of torque at speeds above 50mph, affecting motorway and overtaking performance.
