Other electric/hybrid charging problem

""The plug-in charging system is a scam. The battery only gets 36 miles when fully charged. The automotive makers got together with Congress and "ginned up" the requirements to get rebates. Add to this a software problem that caused the batteries to catch on fire. The charging was expensive and when I received the safety recall that it was subject to spontaneous fire from the hybrid battery, I quit charging it. I got the software fix from a local dealership but, I no longer charge the hybrid battery.""
