If you have a PHEV with a range of 40 miles on battery alone, you will hardly ever use the gas engine at all.

Absolutely true, but that still does not make phev the universal solution to climate friendly transportation :) .

It's more of an awkward stop gap measure. It's expensive and complex to make and maintain (!) and only really profitable for manufacturers due to subsidies as well.

I'm just disagreeing with the "difficult to maintain because reasons" bit. You could easily go 300,000 miles on a PHEV with regular maintenance.
