Yup. The instant torque is amazing when you need it for passing and puts a smile on my face every time. I'm usually running between 50-70% SoC so it's not the full 'Boost experience, either.
Do you recall all of the maintenance your gassers required had and how much you spent? I'm projecting a bit, but I get the feeling that it weighed on the NSX owner. An NSX is way more complex than a typical Honda so they probably didn't think it was worth the additional wear and tear to pass me.
I charge up to 90% which is a great balance between available range and maximizing acceleration and regenerative breaking. So, each time I leave my garage, I have a little more than 290 miles of stated range.
My Porsche Boxsters were anywhere from $1,500 to $2,000 every 10,000 miles. My Mercedes SLs were a little more than that.
