I'm all for developing alternatives, but the truth is that these vehicles are very limited. Only 47 miles on a charge in cold weather? And 69 miles in the heat? This doesn't even take into account that they're not as environmentally friendly as many people believe, because after all, they are charged with electricity which is generated by fossil fuels (mostly coal). As we move towards more renewables, the environmental benefits will increase.
I'd buy a Prius before any electric, but they're thousands more than a comparably sized gas vehicle that will also get pretty good mileage. You have to drive a lot of miles to make up a $5000+ sticker price difference.
