Kinda sidetracking this thread but I commute 65 miles per day. I had the AWD standard battery rated at 210 miles per charge, which somehow ended up being 175 max. When you are on the freeway, you don't recoup any lost energy so you're continually running down the battery. I had to charge at home every other day and that was just to and from work, no grocery runs or anything. The fast charging is okay but you still need to plan for 30 min or so, not including the detour to a station. It was just a hassle to have to plan everything and then wait for 5 hours at home to charge it. Trips are pretty much impossible to do without stopping every 2-3 hours.
If your wife only commuted 20-32 miles per day, it will be good because that's one charge per week or so.
I have a Mirai now, which is easier to fill up by my house. I still can only travel to certain locations due to lack of hydrogen fuel stations. I'll hopefully have the IS soon so things will get easier.
Toyota was and has been one of the leading pioneers with their Hybrid & Fuel Cell Technology….
I’m not going to look up dates for the Prius, but I think they have a MAJOR head start on this..

Hopefully you're right. Hybrid and Fuel Cell Technology isn't the same thing as full EV. The devil will always be in the details and the details are different.
Just got a call from my sales rep at Santa Barbara. My LE just arrived today!
Too bad I have to wait to make the trip to pick it up as I am going out of town for work

Can’t wait to see what you’ll do to this one. Your other IS was beyond amazing. You have serious skills. All your mods are very tastefully done 👍
