Re: IL Corrects Volt Story: Batteries Will NOT Charge When Driving

i refuse to believe that article unless the writer supplies us with a reliable source of some sort. it seems that the whole article was based on a biased interpretation of the sentence "a gasoline/E85-powered engine generator seamlessly provides electricity to power the Volt's electric drive unit while simultaneously sustaining the charge of the battery." the journalist interprets "simultaneously sustaining the charge of the battery" as shutting off the battery and using the engine so that "no additional power is drained from the batteries."
