From what I understand, the Honda Insight doesn't have a pure electric mode like the Prius when driven around 25 mph. Is this correct ?

Also something I wonder about with the Prius is just how far that you can drive on pure EV mode.
If I am stuck in 30 miles of bumper to bumper traffic, how many miles of that would be pure EV if the speed never reached over 20 - 25 mph ?
