It's a 2013 fully electric and I love it. I drove the gas version before and didn't like the automatic transmission. The electric only has one gear and it is plenty quick off the line. Its a perfect commuter car and the price for a used electric car was impressive at just $5.1k with 20k miles.
The regenerative braking is interesting in that as soon as you let go of the gas, it starts to slow down. This will make the brake pads last for a long time. The only down side so far is if you disable traction control, its very hard to drive in the snow because as soon as you let go of the gas, the rear wheels lock up as if you pulled the e-brake. With traction control, it works fantastic.
