42km range. Looking at how I drive I'd say 80% of the km would fall under electric. You save 3-4L / 100km vs the hybrid. So at $1 per liter you have a packback of about 125000 electrical Kms after the $2500 government rebate.

So at today's gas price and lifetime ownership it looks to work out cheaper.

I also like the way it looks.
Not bad looking. The charging port on the front is weird.



Not really thinking much about fender bender situations, but more like after driving in the summer through a fog of mosquitoes and other insects how gross it will get.
