Yes. Mostly because it is basically a plug in electric car. The only time I would need to use the gas generator on board is if you run out of charge. Even then, it would only be for a limited about of time since 40 miles is just a tad short of my daily round trip commute. The fact that I can more or less make it home and then plug it in to recharge for the next day without using gas or minimal gas is very appealing. Also, unlike a pure EV car, you wont get stranded if you run out of electric charge since it does have a gas generator on board. Theoretically I would probably have to fill up gas once a month if that. HS250h is a genuine hybrid. If I were to buy a hybrid car today, it would be the Camry Hybrid since it looks like a normal Camry. I really can't stand the "Unique" hybrid car look so many people seem to like. I want my hybrid to look like a regular car just have the extra benefits.
