8. If you have owned a Prius before I'm guessing that you know that

They are well known for having low maintenance costs and lasting many miles..
If you are able to plug in charge at home I would consider the Equinox. It looks like Level 1 (110V) they will charge about 4 miles per hour. Level 2 (240V) charges ~51 miles per hour.
So you would get about 48 miles in 12 hours if plugged into 110V outlet. I think you would want a Level 2 charging setup at home to make it worthwhile.
Or you can use public chargers, Level 2 or 3.. they reportedly DC FAST charge (LEVEL 3) 70 miles in 10 minutes. But I wouldn't want to have to use public chargers all the time.
