Like many, I've been following the hype about the Volt - or the Opel Ampera as it is to be known in Europe - and the news was quite exiting.
230 MPGe right ?
Now it turns out its a very, very mediocre hybrid once its batteries are depleted.
It's become a Prius with a longer range on batteries, but at the cost of a far worse FE on gas.
Who was waiting for that ? I wasn't.
If governments want to support the introduction of ground-breaking technologies, fine.
But they shouldn't be supporting run-of-the-mill everyday cars - unfortunately, that's also happening here in Belgium.
