There's a grey area. We used to say "It's not electric if you can't plug it in" which was great so long as the "hybrids" were all vehicles like the Prius where you couldn't plug them in. Every mile on a regular hybrid is derived from gasoline. Plug-in hybrids are different, and I keep going back and forth over whether to call the Volt a plug-in hybrid or an electric car. However on the EPA sticker it says "Plug-in Hybrid", never mind what GM's marketing wants us to call it.
