As far as I'm concerned, the so-called "Plug In" capability is a waste - just leave it in Sport and it will charge the battery to 75 % - you get 11-12 miles off the engine or 16-19 plugging it in so what's the sense, just use the electric for launch and acceleration and go buy a I3 if you want an EV to ride around.
I sort of agree. But the "Plug In" capability will come in VERY handy in Michigan in the winter when I want to precondition the i8 on cold mornings without draining the battery.
