Cool beans.

FYI, I added the PHEV info to the thread title.

Apparently even Chrysler will only be calling it a "hybrid" van, despite the PHEV design, saying they feel the plug causes too much confusion in the market. They're probably right. I know several smart (but otherwise non-car-interested) people who thought the Volt was a pure EV so dismissed it as an option.
