End of the day, unless you routinely take long trips (like Josh) where you either don't stop or don't have access to a supercharger, a BEV is a better bet.

I have to imagine the tech and performance has gotten better. Those were engineered at least 4-5 years ago. The X3 iteration is getting quite good reviews.
Edit: The RAV4 Prime will be the sector leader for awhile. Just don't know if I can live with a Toyota product. I've hated every one I've driven...
