Thanks Jeff and others for the relevant comments. I'm going in for another test drive today with wife and baby to make our final decision.
Regarding solar, it doesn't really pencil-out here in Oregon for a few reasons: power is cheap (and we pay extra for 100% renewable... about $3-6 more per month) and we don't use much of it (small house, no AC or pool, gas heat). Charging the car with amount of miles it will see will be $18-20 per month. That's a savings of over $100 per month over the petrol bill for the car that it would be replacing.
