The Volt IS NOT an all electric vehicle

The first production Volt almost certainly won't be an all-electric vehicle

What's up with the Reuter's staff?

"General Motors Corp has set a target for production of an all-electric car in 2010, GM’s product chief and Vice Chairman Bob Lutz said on Tuesday."

Really, an all-electric vehicle? I guess the Volt is an all-electric vehicle if you only drive 40 miles or less per day for the life of the vehicle. However, for most consumers, the Volt will be a plug-in hybrid vehicle that can use electric power for many trips, but that will also utilize gasoline or flex-fuel for extended trips - extending the range from 40 miles to 600 miles. Then again, what's 540 miles?

Yes, the Volt could become an all-electric vehicle in the future, but its first iteration almost certainly will not be an all-electric vehicle.

Good job Reuters!
