Those series vehicles like the Volt were extremely reliable. But they were killed because of high costs.
Then there is the idiot factor. Series vehicles are supposed to be charged on grid overnight, but many owners just ran them like gas cars.
Yeah, I wanted to buy one but by the time I was in a position to, they were gone. Ended up getting a Fusion Hybrid instead. Love it, but wish I'd have bought the plugin version.
