I'd have to know more about this technology, because my first thought is: I
have no desire to have to plug in (& then unplug) a car in order to recharge
it.

From what I understand of the prototype conversions, Cathy, the plug-in
version will increase mileage dramatically. As I recall the EV range is
extended 10-fold from the present 4 miles to 40 miles. If this is the case,
someone with less than a 40-mile round trip commute would hardly burn any
gasoline, usually just plugging the car in when they came home from work.
Moreover, if these cars can be charged using off-peak power, they could
dramatically improve the efficiency of our electric power utilities. Check

I read one small article recently about this - & that's the number I seem to
remember - ~10X. Which is great. But...

If this is the case,

But that's the thing - you may assume you're not going any place once home
from work, only to have to go out later - plug, unplug, plug, unplug. Could
just plug it in before going to bed for the night, but... unless the car's
in an attached garage (which mine isn't; nor are many people's), would
require going outside late at night to plug in. And in the winter, that'd be
a really unwelcome chore... I assume the people behind this have considered
the accompanying scenarios. I hope.

It is possible to get the parking sorted so you just park and it is
plugged
Not needing to think about anything more than just park in the right
spot either at home or at work
Automatic plugging and occasional trip outside the range would be taken
care of by the hybrid

Whoa - "The overall price of a PHEV is 10-20% greater than its hybrid
counterpart." One'd have to calculate the savings in gas Vs. not dealing w/
plugging it in bad winter weather (or any bad weather, if it involves going
outside), as opposed to another $2- 4K+ in price. IOW - would have to
project how often the recharging via plugging in deal would actually be
used.
