"The California certification system is tested using gasoline, so the Volt’s 25 to 50 miles of electric-only range aren’t taken into consideration. These emissions tests reflect a Volt using its onboard gasoline generator only; it’s not exactly a fair fight for GM’s plug-in."

Cali must know a whole lot more than the other states, especially if they wont let it use its electric range during its test in these conditions. Seems fair, now if they dont let the leaf use its electric range, it goes nowhere. If they dont let the prius, it is pretty much still a prius. How is this an effective evaluation?
