This is the worst vehicle ever! It really should not be classified as a vehicle. It should be classified a very expensive paper weight or driveway decoration!

We bought this car used in 2014 for our daughter to commute to her work, 28 miles from home. After a month we had to buy another car for her, because it could not make the 56 mile round trip commute to and from our home on one charge.

Since my husband really wanted this electric car he agreed to drive it to work instead. He works 28 miles away also. He tried every trick in the book to baby the 56 mile round trip out of the car and couldn't do it.

So now I am stuck with this car since I have the most flex ability, but even I have days where I need to go further than 40 miles. I can't even drop my kid off at school and pick him up without charging in between, so on days that I work I have to take my old toyota. (which has 265,000 miles on it - I highly recommend this car!)

In addition our electric bill has doubled since we now charge the car at night!
