I like driving it first and foremost - forget the mpg etc...It is a bit of a "zen" car - quiet and I dont get a harsh ride with it - its rather smooth to my thinking.
I think hybrids are a bit of a sellout in some ways - always have thought so.
It was Toyotas way of making money off the disgruntled EV crowd in the US that had their cars taken away in the late 90s without getting rid of the ICE plus it gave them a "this is the future" image.
I would love to have a EV with 100 mile range that can keep up on the freeway but....I dont see that happening for another 7 years even if they catch on big. After all I wanted the 1999 Rav EV and here I am buying my first Prius (used) 10 years later - it has taken then market that long for it to be affordable for me.
EVs I think will have a faster adoption rate but same deal - at first it will be a status symbol for at least 5 years.
