The Volt transmissions are true Engineering miracles.
I find this description a bit long and confusing. And it is not entirely correct either. In the second EV mode both electric motors are running in parallel, each on one end of the planetary gear. The reason for this is to reduce the RPM of MGB at higher speeds, and with that improve efficiency. Kelly's description assumes that only the smaller MGA is running at low power, which is incorrect.
