The odd thing about that article is that the writer seems to assume that it is easier to make a Prius-type engine and drive with gasoline and electricity both supplying power than it is it to have an onboard gasoline engine that does nothing but generate electricity for the battery. If that article is correct, then everything else published about the Volt must be wrong. I am pretty sure the Volt is doomed to failure no matter how the power is supplied to wheels. Every time GM brings out some supposedly innovative small economy car, it produces something unreliable--the Vega with its aluminum engine, for example. The only really good thing about the Saturn was the stainless steel exhaust system.
