Same here, first car after moving to CA was a 2002 Prius and it still is my wife's favorite car (daily driver). Total fleet is 3 Prius hybrids and 2 EVs (S10 truck and Leaf)

I'm still driving my Honda Insight that I bought brand new in 2001. This weekend I bought my wife a 2016 Prius Prime Advanced. For those that are not familiar, the Prime is the newest Plug-in Hybrid from Toyota. From an EV point of view it has almost as much range as any of my DIY EVs have ever had, and so much more to offer. I'm still a little jealous that people can just walk into a dealership and get everything I had to spend years of manual labor to obtain, but not really. I know there are those on this list that will always be skeptical, but I think we have finally tipped the balance and EVs are here for good... In no small part due to the success of both Tesla and Toyota. I could never get my wife to drive electric in something I put together myself and not even a long range EV like the Bolt or Tesla 3 interest her as a primary vehicle, but when I put a plug-in hybrid in front of her with all the latest features and seamless operation all she wants to do is plan trips so she can drive electric only :) The Henry fleet is now a mixture of 3 hybrids (1 -PIH) and two EVs.
