Reisender,
GM called it a Bev--which it clearly was not.
For you GM haters, the Volt was only powered by battery. The range extending gasoline engine did not power the vehicle. Therefore, it was designated a BEV.
I get the technology and it worked great. Same for the BMW I3. But at least here it was never classified as a BEV. They are registered as hybrids here. At the time there were certain incentives for EV’s and a much smaller incentive for hybrids. They only qualified as hybrids.
It’s interesting that they were classified as BEV’s in some places. The volt t was a great car that was first to the table in terms of its series hybrid technology. Hybrids are losing their popularity but in my opinion will be around to some degree for decades.
All JMHO.
