that means that part of it's fuel economy comes from the fact that you have to plug it into a wall socket to achieve that fuel economy...
From the article:
can deliver a fuel economy of 88 mpg in the city and 50 mpg on the highway when using E85 (85% ethanol/15% gasoline blend).

The MPG is from ethanol alone, not including electric usage
