Let’s see that thing make it more than 3 miles with the heater, lights, and rear window defroster running in February. That thing will be running on gasoline the entire time. 230MPG.....yeah right.

Even in electric mode the system is not 100% efficient. The batteries get warm and so do the motors. A smart design would channel this waste heat into the cabin and through defrosters when desired.
