I don't often have to haul stuff so the reduced trunk size doesn't bother me much. I think it's a beautiful car that rides solid and handles well!

Thanks! I think that if you have a charging station somewhere at work it's a no-brainer if you live within 13+/- miles of work. I happen to live about 15 miles away and I could see me saving a ton of gas if I just charged. But the electrons cost money and impact the environment too. I think one of the huge things that are great about this car aside from the environmental impact is how QUIET the darn cabin can be. Do you pay for charge at work or is it complimentary?
