Why doesn’t everyone own one of these? Value, performance, design, comfort. A great car in every way.

Nov '18. So far, great car. Nice looks, good ride, very economical, averaging 4.4 miles per kWh @ $0.075 per kWh, but will go down now that winter has arrived. As a previous owner of a Chevy Volt, I'm very happy with PHEV's and BEV's, saving quite a bit by not buying gas. No range anxiety so far, gone as far as 170 miles on one trip, one charge. NO complaints so far. Apr '19. Great range, but you must plan ahead. Electric power grid is still in its infancy, but it's still much more than just a commuter car. Worst guestimate in dead of winter was 139 miles, and best in summer was over 300. I charge exclusively at home with a level 2 (240V) charger, over night is perfect. Nice ride, great handling, quiet, no problems driving in snow or cold. Total cost of electricity in almost 7,000 miles of driving, through a winter, is under $175. This is a guestimate, but close. That's about $0.025 per mile ($175 divided by 7,000 miles) of driving for "fuel". My last pure "ICE" (internal combustion engine) car got 30 mpg, but it did take premium, or ($950 divided by 7,000 miles) or $0.136 per mile for fuel. Not to mention, NO gas, NO oil, NO oil changes, NO oil filters, NO pollution. Great car. What's missing? A universal garage door opener. A pedestrian warning horn, ala the Chevy Volt Gen 1. More interior choices (let's see, gray leather, or gray cloth.)

I have had multiple issues with the car. For an electric car I am disappointed on the build quality.
