I don't need to spend hours charging my car if I want to go beyond my commute. I simply go to a normal gas station and my Volt effectively functions as a hybrid. With gas, Volts have a 300 mile range. Also if my charger somehow fails in the middle of the night, I can still drive to work without issues.
