My wife purchased the Toyota Prius when they first came out in either 2002 or 2004 - can't remember the exact year. I drove it a couple of times, and enjoyed it so much, I bought one. I ended up owning 3 Prius' - not all at once. I put over 100,000 on each one and never had a problem. I also averaged about 46 miles a gallon. My wife's first Prius did develop a battery problem after the warranty period, but the dealership replaced them free of charge anyway.
Friend's of mine just purchased an all electric Tesla and drove it here from MN. I think my next car will be all electric. Probably not a Tesla though.
All cars end up having some problems, so go for it.
