I saw a utility company owned BPHEV vehicle in the area yesterday. The charging door was permanently taped closed with a sticker saying DO NOT CHARGE!

I can only speculate the 10% ethanol gas went bad because drivers were charging all the time.

That sounds odd to me. The Chevy Volt was programmed to force the ICE to run at least once every 30 days to keep "the juices flowing" and maintain the system. The fuel tank was sealed a lot better than normal cars to keep air and moisture out. Had a 10 second (?) delay to open the fuel tank as it equalized the pressure.
