The thing only gets 31.1 mpg as a normal, non-plug in hybrid. That's pretty abysmal.

Also, what you consider astronomical isn't so much. If you consider electricity rates from a broader perspective, most Americans are underpaying big time as a result of dirty coal and the like.

But anyway, I'm going to say meh. If it only costs more under the most expensive possible conditions in the US, then in every other it will be less, and the headline is therefore just plain old misleading.
