Is the Volt series, parallel, or both? I've seen both mentioned in this thread. It seems outrageous to add the complexity and cost of a turbo to a vehicle that already has electric motor(s?) and a battery.
The Volt seems like a dumb idea to me because it doesn't get phenomenal mpg when running on the gas engine. Since most households in the U.S. have at least 2 cars, it makes sense to have 1 electric only vehicle (Leaf) and 1 relatively efficient gas vehicle for those longer drives.
Does the Volt fill a niche that isn't better filled by other cars?
