I can honestly say I am not surprised in the slightest. Given we are talking about General Motors here. They are the ones who build electric cars you refuel with gasoline then call it a range extended electric car.
Hell now I find out the Volt is not even a series hybrid. The gas engine runs the wheels at freeway speeds. It is nothing more than a plug in Toyota Prius.
And what is with the Volt's 36mpg gasoline only range? Is that the best they can do. It seems they like to half ass all the eco friendly cars.
