In a perfect world the 2nd generation Volt would have been the Beetle of EVs

People who don't understand ICEs go "Worst of both worlds!!!! EV and ICE reliability problems!!!"

ICEs can be insanely efficient when operating at peak efficiency and incredibly reliable with low power demands

Volt maintenance was actually less involved than Tesla's with their required yearly service.
