I've been researching electric vehicles for quite a while, and changes in the Electric Vehicle Tax Credit for used cars in Colorado kind of forced my hand to move forward. I'm glad I did. It took some time to get used to driving in a slightly different manner, and also how to use the various driving modes to maximize the use of the electic-only travel. But the results have been worth it and since I purchased the car I'm getting about 145 mpg. It's been fine in the snow (use L gear if necessary), and I'm happy I have the generator backup which extends the miles I can travel over and above the 35-45 miles on all electric in standard mode. With full charge and full tank of gas, my range is over 400 miles!
It's cheaper to use electricity rather than gasoline. The change in the electric bill has been minimal compared to the amount I was spending on gas. If you're worried about the environmental impact, I can say that most electric companies are shifting to renewables, anyway, so as time goes by it will be better for the environment...better yet, you could build a residential solar/wind system while there are still federal incentives for it.
I've just driven my first 2,600 miles on 8 gallons of gas and that's only because the car told me my gas was getting stale and should be used. Just installed solar panels on the house so it should cost almost nothing to run (i haven't taken a long trip yet though). Car handles beautifully, great on curves, solid, smooth, QUIET, sound system is awesome, seats are comfortable. Feels like a luxury car. Really sporty looking. If you buy a 3 year old pre-leased car you can get great deals.
