I would ignore the last as being impractical except for special applications due to its limited range. Further, his comparison of extra Volt costs is really just with the ICE since he ignores the the extra costs the hybrid has, most of which duplicate Volt extra costs, like an oversize battery (though not nearly big as the Volt’s), extra electronics and an expensive complex mechanical power-sharing arrangement. The comparison with the ICE is not appropriate since the Volt will be far more economical–more even than a hybrid. Concerni
