I'm not a hater. As I have said before I think that so far as efficiency goes then a series/parallel hybrid is likely to be better, but a series hybrid is an interesting experiment, and if you have the right infrastructure, a PHEV even make sense. A such I am keen to see this thing on the road, after all the combined brains in GM must be smarter than me and Toyota, so I'd like them to point out the errors in my thinking, and building 10000 taxpayer subsidised toys for rich people is one hell of a lesson.  As to whether we should call things by what they are, as opposed to what giant corporations want to call them, I don't really give a monkeys. So long as the article is consistent then call it The Salvation of Mankind for all I care. It obeys every significant characteristic of a PHEV and will be tested as such, and marketed to compete with other PHEVs. However to be consistent if you want to call it an EV we should remove mentions of it and links to it from the PHEV and all hybrid vehicle articles, of course. Your call.
