Actually, both links are wrong. It's just that thecarconnection link is only a little wrong while the jalopnik link is 100% B.S.
The part where the second link is off is the Volt has no mechanical connection between the engine and the drive train. The engine runs a generator which supplies electricity. But again, the engine is not connected in any way to the wheels or the drive train. All locomotion is 100% electric.
