That's now what we're saying at all. We simply state that the Volt is "well-suited" to those who drive fewer than 40 miles a day - not that it's not applicable to other drivers too. One of the main concerns drivers have with electric vehicles is the lack of range and recharging facilities. At the moment therefore most electrics are well-suited to those who travel comparitively short distances. The Chevy Volt is designed to run purely on electricity from on-board batteries for up to 40 miles - that covers the daily commute for around 75 per cent of Americans but those who travel longer distances may prefer alternatives.

Apparently this fellow thinks that if you drive 41 miles and need to use 1/50th of a gallon of petrol, you won't profit by driving a Volt. I might correct this writer by saying that the Chevy Volt is
