but, it's still a hybrid.

Almost any development is an evolutionary step...a Bluetec VW TDI is a diesel, but what an evolutionary step, right?

My problem with inode's blockheaded thinking is that it kills or denies the evolutionary process.

Interesting part of the article you just posted a link to....

"Why insist this isn't just a hybrid when it apparently is? When the company went looking for a government bailout it was in part awarded one because of the innovation shown in the Volt. Now that we're learning the Volt is basically just a plug-in hybrid with a bigger than average battery pack (Popular Mechanics is finding 30-odd miles of purely electric range), we're left wondering: where's the innovation?"
