No, I think in their enthusiasm to encourage more grid-able vehicles and a more critical view of flex fuels, they are missing an important point: a plug-in hybrid uses a range extender, that, at present, is usually an internal combustion engine. Enabling the range extender to run clean fuel is a non-sequitur.
