I'm actually thinking of getting one. I have a Subaru Outback (that I'm keeping!) but my wife has a 10-year old beater. She only uses it for around town and short trips. Perfect application for an electric vehicle. She can just keep it plugged in in the garage for when she needs it.
“She can just keep it plugged in in the garage for when she needs it.”
That is the only thing that concerns me. I am not sure I want that much Lithium battery in MY GARAGE attached to the house my family and I sleep at night. At least until they correct the issue of occasionally catching on FIRE.
As far as a car to drive, I think they are fun as you can buy. Better than a Porsche or Ferrari.
