He covers some important details here. This is not the same as any of the other hybrid products, which I have been saying since 2010.

It is a little less efficient on gas than a pure hybrid but that tradeoff was made deliberately since the use case is mostly EV operation so a few MPG less is not big deal. If you have a 100 mile commute and can't charge at the office, then this car will not be a fit.

Very detailed explanation.

The distinguishing characteristic is that it has the same output as an EV or as a hybrid. The competition has very different 0-60 times for example when in EV mode (much slower) whereas the Volt is not. Which has been the case since 2010.
