[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had an EV on a cheap lease for three years and I loved it.

Driving experience was noticeably better with instant torque for acceleration to merge onto the beltway and regen for braking (one pedal driving with all the stop signs in my neighborhood). And no oil changes or maintenance.

We don’t have much of a commute so we just plugged it into a regular electric outlet— pretty much always full. [/quote]
+1 Our Toyota EV is so zippy. I love driving it.

But, I'm not sold on having all EVs in the house just in case of a massive power out, and we can't charge at home.  There aren't *that* many charging stations in the area, and I would imagine all the EV owners will be trying to charge their cars.

I also don't like the idea yet of taking long road trips with an EV because of the lack of charging infrastructure in some places.

I don't drive that much so a hybrid doesn't make much sense because you need to drive enough in order for the battery to be recharged.

So, for me, a plugin hybrid makes the most sense.  I haven't gotten one yet, though. I still have my ICE car.[/quote]
