I think you're taking his comment about the Volt a little out of context. He was talking solely about batteries and used the Volt's battery as an example of the limitations of current pure EVs. He never said the Volt was a bad idea with it's range extender, just that pure EVs are not practical replacements for the types of vehicles that we now drive and enjoy based on current battery technology.
He basically says that the fuel cell is a better replacement for an ICE than a battery is at this point in time based only on performance in a vehicle. He also says that things are changing rapidly and so it's foolish to have all your eggs in one basket because we don't know where technology moving right now. Diversifying research is the way to go at this point. I pretty much agree with all he has said.
OK, now let's get ready for all the "fool sells" rants.
