It's a great second car. For families, you buy one PHEV (like your Volt) to handle commutes or road trips, and one Pure EV second car that only gets used for commutes and such. Pure EV's also have significantly lower maintenance.

This isn't like a LEAF with low 80ish mile limits. At 220+ miles, this new Bolt could drive from Chicago to Milwaukee and back without ever stopping to charge -- quite a bit further than just "around town".
