Considering the battery has the equivalent of 2 gallons of gasoline, it's a damned good piece of engineering to go 200 -250 miles per charge, but it is a limited purpose car in some respects.
I agree with that. But really, the same can be said for buying a BMW anyways right? I mean why buy it over a Toyota Avalon? Is the reliability or cost of entry and ownership any cheaper? What does the BMW provide that other, cheaper sedans do not in terms of pure functionality?
