I don't think GM is all that far off with the Volt theory, i.e. that range anxiety is keeping hoards of potential "EV" customers out of pure EVs; and also that the typical customer is not going to fool around with tow-behind APUs and whatnot, so the solution has to be plug-n-play even if that means there is no choice but to add stuff that dilutes the pure EV functionality.
