MG 1 starts the gasoline engine and charges the nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery, while MG2 drives the front wheels and regenerates the battery during braking and coasting, and MGR drives the rear wheels and also regenerates the battery. The EPA rates fuel economy at 31 mpg city/28 highway/30 combined.

Asked why not Nickel Metal Hydride batteries in the Volt, at least to start, he says "NiMH just doesn't do it." And nickel mining is such dirty business we ought move right to benign lithium. If Lutz means it, GM should have no objection to a reinvigorated ZEV mandate in California. Or is lithium the new hydrogen?

The result is an 80+ mile-per-gallon vehicle — with even greater fuel economy possible utilizing bio-fuels. Nothing has to be invented to produce a plug-in hybrid vehicle,” says Dr. Andrew Frank, a mechanical engineering professor at the University of California at Davis and Director of the UCD Hybrid Electric Research Center.
