Justin - I second Matt O's
Justin - I second Matt O's thanks for these helpful articles. I have a second-gen Chevy Volt that still routinely gets 60+ miles on a charge, but my family is outgrowing it and I'm seriously considering the Sorento PHEV. Your articles give me hope. Apart from the issue of cold weather and needing the gas engine for heating (I live in TX, so not a huge concern for me), are there other issues that routinely "force" the Sorento to switch from EV to gas once you've put it in EV mode (aside from using up the battery of course)?
One of the things I absolutely love about the Volt is that I know it will stay in EV mode all the way down until it *has* to switch over to gas, so I'm mentally preparing for a PHEV that acts a bit differently.
