I used to think that vehicles like the Chevy Volt were useless and not really an EV. But what has happened is that those cars have become more like training wheels for people who are worried about how much range they need. Volt owners track how many weeks and months they go without using gas. They're proud of it.
I've heard from several Volt owners that they bought a Volt because they had range anxiety. Now they have gasoline anxiety.
They never want to hear that gas engine kick in and think "Awww crap, now I might have to go to a gas station."
