I agree with Ghostbear. I too buy vehicles and hold onto them until they die, or my beloved wife totals them (she's wrecked two; fortunately, each was 10+ yrs old).

The MPG reports appear to be disappointing, but that seems to be true for any vehicle because the EPA (or DOT) tests the vehicles under artificial conditions. I'd like to see how they hold up past their warranty. Also, I'm concerned about the disposal of the battery units. Would there be an extra charge to dispose of them instead of using the local landfill. Also, the Dallas temperature extremes tends to kill batteries at an earlier age.
