I have a Chevy Volt. It’s awesome. I just hate that more of these are being killed off. There are more in the market, but every loss feels like a step backwards.

Yeah, this is what I don't understand, but maybe it's because my wife and I are a one car and mostly public transit oriented family. What I want: A hybrid electric with ~40 miles of battery and a 300mi gas tank for longer trips W
