The initial acceleration is great, I only need to use third and fourth gear, it's fun to take off in second gear. First gear... not a good idea. I never need fifth gear, not even on the Interstate.

My employer installed an outlet and meter for me to charge my car at work. I reimburse them for the electricity used.
