My condo doesn't have any charging but my work does so the Phev makes sense there, but I can't make sense of the added mechanical complexity and points of failure and added weight of having electric and internal combustion together in the same vehicle.
The latest Tesla's have a heat pump for heating, hopefully some of the models in the spring will have that in availability.
