Joe,
At the risk of me getting snagged for being off-topic, everyone in the car business knows that all of those awards are for sale.
Ever wonder why so many different awards from so many different reviewers always seem to pick the same car?
My problem with the electric car is basically that it has enough range for my regular commute...assuming that I don't make any extra trips during the day or want to stop somewhere after work on my way home.
BTW, what are you supposed to do on vacation? Bring an extension cord so that you can plug it into the GFI receptacle in the bathroom of your hotel room?
