depends where one lives, but 30 miles range would have been difficult for my palo -> san jose and back commute if I couldn't charge near work and deffinitely not enough if I would do anything else on the way to or from work. that's why I think a 40-50 mile range it lets you commute + do errands. but at the end of the day, we somewhat agree, there needs to be a significant amount of electric range where its not just a gimmic or a glorified prius type hybrid. just because a car can charge from a socket, shouldn't make it regulatory a PHEV.
