I test drove one awhile and almost bought one of two different models that I looked into but my big concerns were the battery life (cost to replace them) and distance that you could travel on a charge. I ended up buying a Smart Car for my town car and it does have the capability of highway driving, which none of the NEVs I was looking at could do because of their 35mph speed limitation. The Smart puts out the least CO2 of about any currently available petroleum powered car and gets very good mileage. Mine is the earlier European model, the 450, with the 0.7 liter Mercedes engine, gets 45mpg in town and 55 on the road. Besides, it is fun to drive!
