I have heard that the Volt is way over the top with computerized electronics.  The engineers could not overcome the laws of physics with driving range, so they compensated for that shortcoming by over-engineering everything else in sight (with the exception of the battery).  One problem with the Volt is heating the passenger cabin in the winter.  I have heard that cold weather operation with some heating brings the driving range down into the mid-20-mile range.  They advise to not use the heater much.  They say the car can be heated at night during the charge cycle.  And we all know that once you get a car heated up, you can drive around with the heat off and feel just fine.  But while the battery range is very short, the gas engine range is something like 300 miles.  I would speculate that most Volts will end up being driven around in the gas mode all the time with the battery left uncharged.  Then the driver will be paying to haul around the 500-pound battery all the time for no purpose.
