You can do 20 miles, just not all at once. I've done 5 miles bursts through towns at low speed, interrupted by highway with no assist. In that case I probably exceeded 20 miles total EV travel.

Like owning an old car, it has to be partly a hobby. The technical issues of any PHEV car seem to mandate some amount of do-it-yourself. When warranties expire on the Volt or GM goes under, those owners will be in the same situation. I see it all as opportunity to save gas, not necessarily time.
