To this day people new to the Volt concept continue to draw the conclusion that it should have solar cells on its roof.
Here&#8217;s an email I just got today:

The following is a recent exchange I had with Volt vehicle line director Frank Weber concerning battery temperature control in the Chevy Volt.
