Whilst I completely agree it's technology that will, and indeed is, dating pretty rapidly, the range of the car suits our use of it fairly well. And the fact that it also has petrol engine means it can be used like a normal ICE car with no range anxiety at all. Even when not plugged in its more economical than the petrol equivalent, thanks to the 'normal' energy recovery hybrid systems. And the Toyota Prius has been doing that for 20 years now, so that s pretty proven technology I think? But for us it's just an extremely well equipped A3 that also happens to be very economical :)
