What I find most aggravating about the Volt is the premium fuel required for the ICE and it doesn't build up the charge to 80-90% and cycle the engine off. I did read they expect a minimum of 20% rated EV range increase in the next generation Volt. So, 38 *1.2 = 45.6 mile range. I'm hoping they surpass 50 miles all electric range.

While I was sight-seeing last weekend I also checked out a new Spark, knowing someday the EV version may sell outside CA. As tiny cars go, I think I could live with it. I've had small cars before and prefer that to large vehicles.
