Maybe I'm weird, but for my use case I think the Volt is actually maybe even better environmentally than a full electric car. I drive less than 8,000 miles a year. 90% of it is trips shorter than 10 miles. I can charge at home on solar panels. Regularly using public charging infrastructure actually burns more fossil fuel than I would burn using gas in the Volt. Occasionally I go on work trips that would require over 300 miles, so no current all electric would work. I stay at hotels that don't have charging infrastructure so I can't do a return trip. I'm not saying Chevy was wrong to discontinue, but I think you're wrong about limited use. Personally, I don't understand how you burn so much gas with the Volt, maybe try to reduce driving. That is ultimately what makes a difference - not green washing. Just cause it's electric doesn't mean you aren't burning fossil fuels.
