I find plug-in hybrids to be quite silly & have limited appeal. Classic case of neither here nor there. If I have to plug-in something, I'll simply buy an electric car! On the other hand, if I want a hybrid, I'd rather buy a self-sufficient hybrid system like that of Toyota-Lexus.

No wonder the market for these is tiny the world over.
