Its misleading because it leads you to believe that there the engine never drives the wheels, that there is never any mechanical propulsion, that its an electric vehicle. That is what you are led to believe when reading through the GM provided material I quoted and highlighted. Pretty much anyone who knows about the Volt thinks its solely electrically driven, except when the 'range extender' kicks in to generate more electricity. So if thats not true all the time then they've at least been mislead and at worst, lied to.

Would you say this is an accurate (though in-precise) description of the operation of the Volt: Under certain conditions the Volt will drive only on electricity. The rest of the time it will be a combination of electric and mechanical power.
