The 40 mile range recharge is supposed to be a small fraction of what the gasoline would cost. Well under $1.00 for the recharge I read. So, if you like economy and want to buy this car to possibly save some money on fuel, then you need to do a trememdous amount of driving to make up for the higher cost of the car.
If you want to buy this car because you are trying to "save the planet", then you'd better buy a bicycle instead because all the coal that the electricity you charge the batteries from releases more evil CO2 into the air than the gas it replaces.
