What does the word
Volt, as in Chebby Volt mean anyway?
Most folks would say that it is -
The
volt, a unit of potential difference that drives current.
It was named in honor of Italian physicist
Alessandro Giuseppe Antonio Anastasio
Volta *(1745-1827).
But hang on a minute, there are other meanings:
volt
–noun
1. Manège .
a. a circular or turning movement of a horse.
b. a gait in which a horse going sideways turns around a center,
with the head turned outward.
2. Fencing . a sudden movement or leap to avoid a thrust.

So, in light of the circularity, confusion, jumping from one possible
electro/mechanical drive mechanism, etc, etc, Chebby has followed in
development of the Volt, it seems that way back in the beginning they
gave us fair notice.
When they named the car the Volt, what they were saying, even
warning us about was, "Don't expect us to be straight forward about this,
we're going to give you the runaround, and dodge any questions."
And, they were right!
Shame on us for not doing our homework.
