W hen we started the Plug In Partner initiative, our primary objective was to create a nationwide campaign to urge automakers to accelerate development of plug-in hybrid vehicles. But don’t call them hybrids. The Volt is not a hybrid, and it’s not a plug-in hybrid. We’ve already heard about a potential Volt-based Pontiac.)
