So, you’re saying a factory hybrid can’t possibly get more than 15MPG.

No. I’m saying that standby generators are not very efficient when used as EV battery chargers. Hybrid vehicles start out with high efficiency powertrains, and then add electric boost to improve acceleration and to also propel the vehicle when the electric system is not as efficient and the IC system. They also utilize regenerative braking and downhill driving to charge the batteries.
