My father got an early Mitsu MERV (I think that's what it's called) and I've driven it quite a bit. Even with a range of only 130 kms or so it was still very functional BUT you do spend a lot more time planning your day and route. And the heater is very power hungry so travel on cold days usually meant either short trips only or bundle up. Also a couple times a month he'd have to borrow a car so that he could make a longer trip.
But the thing went like stink and was a total hoot to drive, I really liked it. I might get an electric car someday but only once the usable range is 300+ kms.
