Well not really as the petrol motor on the Volt will kick in to get you home the last 6km's. However unlike the Prius the petrol motor is only used as a generator for the electric engine, the electric motor is the only drive unit in the car. All up the range is suppose to be over 450km for the Volt, more than handy!
