The Volt was a good concept car. The battery replaces the transmission, and the electric motor requires a lot less maintenance than an internal combustion engine. The generator is designed to maximize battery life (as opposed to a Tesla, or a Bolt). It's more like a car version of a diesel electric locomotive- taking advantage of the good parts of electricity and gasoline. But basically a two-seater, unless you're a family of hobbits.
