Green 98 Ranger EV lead acid is now back on the road. Odometer shows about 16,300. Against everybody's advice 26 flooded Pb batteries are in the front of the bed instead of down in the coffin. Weight distribution is way off. Cold weather range is under 20. But they built a Costco closer to me so I just drive it. If I feel ambitious, I'll adjust the headlights back down. Would consider the Volt when the e-85 model comes out. Wife's 03 Civic Hybrid 5-speed has been nearly flawless, averaging 60 mpg on the final leg of a trip to Kansas, cruise set at 65 in perfect weather.
