General description (highlights, challenges):
In daily use as my only working vehicle. Over 10k miles on it now. Features Chademo rapid charging for driving out of range. No air conditioning. If I was starting again, I'd maybe use the rear Outlander motor and diff, but as it stands it's perfectly usable.
