This is a stupid question, but why would I buy a plug-in/hybrid that only goes 40 mi on battery only? Is the plug just for show to get the credit?

While I’m no EV car buff, I think these types of vehicles have the EV portion kick in for city stop and go driving. That consumes the most gas, starting from a dead stop. Use the battery power to get you up to 30mph let’s say, then the gas engine fires up.
