Quite accurate. Missing from
Quite accurate. Missing from the locomotive comparison is a storage battery. Early releases from GM in their institutional ads state that the Volt has an electric generator that provides for extended range. Sounds like "range extender" to me. It just baffles me that a company that had the genius to create their marvel had zero talent to market it. Aside from that; the government incentive for EV purchase took the form of a tax CREDIT instead of a REBATE. That would have greatly broadened the potential buyer base for a car made for the masses.
