Is there any accuracy in this ?

No, there is not.

The Snopes rebuttle is fatally flawed. *It takes the same amount of time
to drive across the country????

Since when the battery is run down it runs on the gas engine, yes, it
can go cross country just like any IC vehicle.

But the Volt is not designed for x-country use. *It is optimised for the
large number of Americans who commute a dozen miles or so daily, who can
charge it during off peak hours every night, but still offers a back-up
plan so you never suffer the inability to go when you need to regardless
of the charging time.

OH yeah, you can fit it with a Gun rack too.

68% of Americans commute less than 15 miles one-way to work:

In other words, the vast majority of those who drive to work can cover
their trips on electricity only, with an all-electric (Nissan Leaf) or
a plug-in hybrid (Chevy Volt).
