Great solution, maybe, but not in the Volt. Other than a press release from China in 2008, I have seen little on the genset concept for the Volt. I know other companies have been experimenting with them with at least one (FEV I think it was) putting one on the market as a ~40kW (I don't recall the exact number, but it was somewhere in that range with 3 or 4 cylinders). An OPOC would be excellent as well, with very light weight and the ability to burn multiple fuels. Except that’s only a conceptual at this point. Great solution, maybe, but not in the Volt.
