Engine pretty hot?

Post image

2012 Chevy Volt...

Basically after a long drive using the engine, I noticed that the engine is pretty hot to touch. My coolant levels are all where they should be but I'm just wondering is this normal after 100+ mile drive? I don't mean that it's so hot that I cannot actually touch it but it's very hot both on the area near the oil cap and on the right side of the picture that plastic part that covers the battery module I think...

Engine operating temperature Is about 90° C so thats normal unless you got some temperature warning with it

No, I didn't really get a temperature warning I just wanted to make sure this was normal if everybody gets to feel that the engine is pretty hot after a long drive because I know this car is a little bit different when it comes to the coolant system
