One major point to consider is that 40e charges best with 220/240V level II chargers. It even mentions in this guide that an "occasional" charging with Level I 120V is ok. Thich would mean two things: having an electrical 240 to be wired up in your garage + plus the $1,500-$2,000 charger to be purchased and installed.
I'm also looking at the young age of hybrid vehicles especially the PHEV's and I do foresee some rapid changes and improvements coming forth soon...and the thing with too much tech in one basket makes the previous champ look like chimp and obsolete in no time...
