> "I can imagine some shoppers thinking, it gives up 150EV miles for a gas engine?" Sure -- I think the Volt is targeting a different use case, of people whose daily commutes are less than 40-50 total miles but who occasionally make long trips. It's basically the perfect car for me (I bought a 2013 Volt off-lease a few months ago.) I'm a stay-at-home dad, my wife works from home, and most of the driving I do is to locations within a 5-mile radius (family, church, the grocery store, and a handful of restaurants.) Two or three times per year, we travel out of state, at which point I'm glad for the ~340 mile combined range and would be disappointed with having to stop every 200 miles and sit for 30+ minutes waiting for a full charge. But for someone who regularly travels 50-200 miles per day, the Bolt or 3 or other EVs in that class might be a much better option.
