the range is very interesting indeed if you can do that full electric, than there is no fuel consumption.
But if you have a higher mileage to cover daily (not in the 100's of miles per day) you can still end up with a lower consumption...
that's the whole idea of the hybrid mode...

I do a lot of short rides - taking the kids to school, lots of family lives closeby, the kids play sports closeby, you name it so for me it totally makes sense. On the other hand I sometimes go to Germany for work or pleasure and have long(er) drives so hybrid eases my mind in those cases that I won't have to stop to recharge my car.
I'll have my own charger at home and I plan to plug it in whenever I get back home and actually use the capability
