Only complaint my friend has had concerned high cost of repairs. Per mile costs have been as advertised, however. Vehicle seems highly resistant to hail damage too, LOL !!!
A hybrid would be a second choice, but cost of repairs is a serious concern - an all electric doesn't need a host of subsystems that a modern dinosaur powered car has. My commute is at worst 34 miles round trip, perfect for an electric. If I only had one car it would probably be a hybrid.
I rode in a newer Prius on a Lyft ride last month. I know what you mean about the status display. Quiet ride even with the gasoline engine on, and seemed to have ample power even on hills. The financials aren't nearly as compelling though. Nice cars, though.
