I live on the 19th floor presently and am used to not parking outside my window... charging will be via hybrid mode when driving, unless I'm lucky enough to be able to find one of the public charging pods in which case I can park there.
I kinda like the fully separate engines where the front wheels are driven by the petrol engine, rear by the electric, and that the batteries go where the prop shaft would have been and it can operate full petrol (FWD), full electric (RWD) or hybrid (AWD). At least I don't have to charge it constantly, and yet will be able to go full electric for short trips should I need to. This design gives a lot of freedom to choose how to use the engines, I reckon this is better than the permanently hybrid things, and it's got to be simpler to maintain as they are fully distinct systems that only overlap in the control system (when to enable which) and the charging of the batteries.
I couldn't consider an electric if it was purely electric. But love the fact that I can have the best of both worlds with this.

I looked at these (well, the V90), and even though I can usually count on being able to park outside my flat it's never 100% certain - not that important with regards to a combustion engine, but a bugger for charging the battery.
What were your thoughts on this?
