I understand just fine that this car is capable of driving on battery alone and can in cold conditions.  In fact, it did for the first year except at under 25 degrees.  I wouldn't even have a big problem with that.  I don't think that starting the engine at 40 degrees makes any sense.  I don't think your criticism makes any sense.

And yes car makers whose cars don't work as promised should be held accountable including drastically missing their mpg estimate.  I have a Prius and if it got 30 mpg, I would be equally angry.  It doesn't because it works as it should.  Wasn't Volkswagen recently sued for mpg lies?

I certainly understand the constraints of ev technology in northern climates and am perfectly willing to live with reduced range.  What I can't live with is burning gas AND getting terrible range.

Just because all phevs sell the same myth is not a reason to not hold them accountable.  It is more reason to.

I did a ton of research on this car including confirming through videos that cold weather Canadian users could drive in ev from the start.
