Huh? The whole point of an EV, or a hybrid, is to burn as little fossil fuel as possible. So the Volt (or other cars with similar design) lets you do that while still having the ability to make long trips.
As for having Leaf & Prius? Sure, if you like paying twice the registration, taxes, & insurance - not to mention initial cost of a second newish car.

I'm doing all of my hauling these days with my Prius and a trailer.

That works if you don't haul that much weight, and do it on fairly good roads. Otherwise not.
