I thought pretty hard on it. There is a part of me that really wants to get one and try it out for an extended period. My wife works at a school and its roughly a 15-20 minute drive one way. Mostly county roads. She has a Audi Q3 and it gets really good gas mileage. A full tank (13ish gal) lasts her about two weeks if she is just commuting. Her type of driving is the ideal type for a EV. Its just one of those things I'd like to try out. I certainly don't want to replace her Audi. I like it.We still have a long way to go before we have any true ability to go EV as a country/world. The tech is still developing. I see it being a more mainstream thing in 20-30 years unless we hit another technology burst. We just don't have the infrastructure to support ONE EV in every home, much less two. I like the idea, but they can't compete with the long-haul non-stop use of an internal combustion engine. And combustion engines didn't get where they are overnight, either.</blockquote>
