Do gallons of fuel burned in the power plant to charge the car not count?

Does this mean PURE electric vehicles get INFINITE miles to the gallon?

16.20 - To be blunt, Chevy is now Government owned, hence will not be held accountable for lying like politicians.

pedro7of - I am 'in a wad' because I think our new socialist car company is LYING.
I calculate the Volt's equivalent mpg is ~39 not 230. I don't think it is a cure, I think it's political bullshit.
