Five months ago I put in an order for an electric drive BMW i3 which I took delivery of this evening.  Demand has out stripped supply which extended the delivery date by 3 months. I can say without reservation, however, that it was worth the wait. I have owned a dozen cars in my life and this one is the most fun to drive.  Electric motors deliver instantaneous neck-snapping torque AND, in this case, the equivalent of 134 MPGe.  The tradeoff is that range is limited to 88 miles (125 in a pinch) relegating this to a commuter vehicle which is how I plan to use it.  iRobot has free charging stations at work which only makes the value proposition that much more compelling for me.
