I still think the Volt is the closest and best thing we've got to the next step in the automotive drivetrain evolution.

We can't go straight from gas to full electric because of range anxiety. It just does not work for everyone, so it is not a solution.

The Volt can be driven on full EV if needed, but the gas engine can keep that electric motor singing as long as you need it to. This is the next step until we are ready for full electric (assuming electric is the way we go, and we don't end up going to natural gas or something like that first).

Volt is getting to be more and more affordable over time, but it still needs to come down even further. If it can do that, it would be a success.
