It's many forms of hybrid and yet none (what would you call a hybrid of a hybrid?). So for the sake of advertising, they can call it an Electric Vehicle and not be lying as far as I'm concerned. It has that capability, and it's that ability that defines the vehicle's character, not it's supplementary features.
But I'm still very curious.....why does it matter?
Either way you cut it to help yourself sleep at night, it still comes out as an infinitely more capable vehicle than it's closest competitors. If a little feature-biased advertising helps them sell cars.....who cares? It's not like this is some immoral scandal cheating people out of their money.
How many toyota commercials have stated how safe and fuel efficient their vehicles are. Sure...they can be. If you don't crash and drive 10mph under the speed limit.
