Mitsubishi 'i' aka iMiEV (brother is trading in his Honda Fit for one)
My brother Nathan is trading in his Fit, and buying a Mitsubishi 'i' ! He says it has even more legroom and headroom than the Fit -- he is almost 6'-7" so this is a key thing for him. His wife Janet is already driving a Leaf, so they will be a rare household with 2 EV's.
He was hoping to get the Fit EV, but they raised the seats to make more room for the battery, and apparently it only works for people up to about 6'-0" tall, or so.
His commute is pretty short, at only ~16 miles round trip. They plan on sharing the 40A Level 2 charger they have in their garage. And they plan on installing a 6kW solar PV array after building a new roof addition to their house, for carbon free driving.
