I look forward to the day
I look forward to the day when battery technology (range), charging technology (speed of charging), and the charging infrastructure (availability of chargers) is robust enough to handle a BEV-only world. But we're not there yet. I cannot drive interstate, especially in the Western U.S., in a BEV. It takes way too long to stop every couple hundred miles and charge up. So, I can have a BEV in the garage, like I have my gen 2 Volt, right now. But then I'll have to have another car, like the Prius that shares the garage with my Volt, right now. You see, I don't live in a city. I live in the rest of the U.S.; in the vast spaces between cities.
The decision to put the Volt to death, especially if it means the Voltec drivetrain dies with it, is a few years too soon, in my opinion.
