Worse, a Chevy Volt engine cannot even recharge its battery. It is that Donald Trump dumb.
That is weird... I guess I understand their explanation (arriving at the destination with an empty battery and charging there will likely be cheaper than charging using gas). Whether it's a good strategy would likely depend on your usage; if you almost never fully drain the battery, it probably is a cost saver.


But they're eliminating the Volt, so it'll be up to Tesla and foreign manufacturers to learn any such lessons.
