Just curious:
Read an article today that said many PHEV owners don't bother to plug in their cars. In fact, Toyota is concerned enough that they are releasing a game/app for their owners that supposedly encourages plugging in.
Is this really a thing? Seems like if you buy a PHEV and don't bother plugging it in, you just spent more money to buy a less-fuel-efficient HEV.
I suspect most Tucson PHEV owners who are interested enough to come on this forum are also interested enough to plug in, but what say you?

adding to this... my guess they just want people to use an app so they get more information out of us. I wont use it .... i wont use mylink either. dealership spent 15 min trying to convince me to set it up. the more they pushed the more i said no to the point where i threatened to NOT take the vehicle that i just signed for.... yes you can do that. as long as you dont drive it off lot.

LOL the whole point for buying PHEV is so i could drive around town in EV mode. I plug in at least 2-3 times a week.
