I really do not get the point of this vehicle. Using electricity as a fuel instead of gasoline and sacrificing on some power to save the environment does sound like an interesting idea. But we need to consider where the electricity comes from in the U.S and that is again from the burning of fossil fuels, nuclear power and natural gas. So these electric powered cars are just giving us a false sense of reality that we are doing something to save the environment. Now if they generate electricity from renewable sources like sunlight, it's a different story altogether. More importantly, a crossover that has little to offer in terms of pure power just does not sound all appealing. Now if I wanted a Prius, then maybe..
