I have wondered about using the "jumpstart" feature to raise the %SOC then recharging the 12V battery with a normal battery charger.... was this by any chance one of the ways you tried? A poor man's PHEV for sure. not sure about the efficiency of doing it this way, probably pretty poor. But when I get home, the battery is pretty low, and always recharges for the first mile of the next trip, even with a few FS.
