I can, however, drive thru the parking lot at the train station on electric only at about 12mph.

Actually the ev only mode can accelerate the car (now it can't do it from 0mph but it can do it if you have some forward momentum). I can tell you because I routinely do it. My home is in a track with all level roads. I start out coming into my track at approximately 11mph when I kick the car into 'ev' mode. When I reach my house I'm doing approximately 19-20mph(I think the highest I've ever gotten was 21) with 4 - 5 bars of assist the whole way.
I would agree however that it is impossible to move from a stop without the ICE turning on.
