The part I found most interesting;

You indicated that the range of your {make and model previous PEV} was not satisfactory. How many miles of range would meet your requirements in a similarly sized and priced vehicle?”. Both those that continued PEV ownership and discontinued PEV ownership were asked this question. For BEVs the mean range is 225.7 miles, and median is 200 miles. For PHEVs mean range is 147.3 miles and median 100 miles which is far more than any PHEVs currently on the market.

Owners of PHEVs say the EV range that would meet their requirements is 147 miles. They either don't understand what a PHEV is for, or the question was as poorly formed as this conclusion.
The point of a PHEV is to nearly use the full capacity on most trips.
