All that development time and money, and it still gets it's butt kicked mileage-wise by either a Toyota Prius or Honda Insight or Civic Hybrid.

I love the line about how "the EPA hasn't figured out how to rate it's fuel economy". Translation - "we haven't figured out a convincing line of BS that the general public will swallow and will make this dog look like a good deal".

Recharge time of 11 hours on 120V, or 5 to 6 hours on 240V. Welcome to the wonderful world of electric vehicles my friends - I've been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Wanna take bets as to how many owners will just simply blow off plugging the bloody thing in and just keep dumping gas in the tank?
