knarf, you are making the mistake of assuming that the Spark EV depicted in comment #2 is typical. That car represents less than 1% of last year's plug-in sales. The top sellers are the Nissan Leaf, Chevy Volt, and Tesla Model S which all have very normal doors.

Model 2014 Sales Percent
Nissan Leaf 30200 25.45%
Chevrolet Volt 18805 15.84%
Tesla Model S 16550 13.94%
Toyota Prius Plug In 13264 11.18%
Ford Fusion Energi 11550 9.73%
Ford C-Max Energi 8433 7.11%
BMW i3 6092 5.13%
Smart forTwo EV 2594 2.19%
Ford Focus EV 1964 1.65%
Fiat 500E 1503 1.27%
Cadillac ELR 1310 1.10%
Toyota RAV4 EV 1184 1.00%
Chevrolet Spark 1145 0.96%
Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid 879 0.74%

True, and at age 67, I find myself working harder to get in and out than I used to. My wife says to attend yoga class like she does, LOL

Hard to believe the Miata will be celebrating its 25th birthday.

They spent $2.5 million for chargers that were used 79 times. Heck, in only a 10-15 years the cost might be down to $500 per charge!

It is and as you probably know, they are cheap to operate and you can purchase an older one used for very short money. Again though, if you’re pushing six foot it’s probably not a good solution.
