    I ordered a Sealion 6 a while ago, it got delivered last month, so the experience is rather limited so far.
    I can say a few things about it,
    1. the "pure electric" range is a bit more limited than advertised, still plenty for a couple days of mostly city traffic, but not 110 km.
    2. the maximum charge speed of 7kw means that charging halfway destination is not really an option unless you're willing to wait 3 hours or so.
    3. if you're any taller than me (5'10") the driver's chair won't move back far enough for your leg length.
    4. driving around is really quiet, and it's a joy to charge the car battery from my solar system at home. After 500 km or so, the first gasoline tank is still all the way full.
    5. the build quality is a little bit below the Volvo I was driving before, but at least on par with most other brands.
    6. if it had been only up to me I would have bought a pure electric car rather than a hybrid, but my wife has a rather bad case of range anxiety, even though we would never drive further than to Cebu or Bacolod and back.
