3. State rebate- each state has a different amount, in CA it is $2500 or $4500 ( low income)
currently CA has finished funds for the year, however, the last 3 years they have added more, so the expectation is that you should revive this.

5. Utility rebate- each utility is offering various incentives, this will depend on where you live
6. College grad - if you graduated within 2 years or will in 6 months you get $500 with transcripts

Q: How is the range on this?
A: Many people with sensible driving are easily able to achieve 150 mile range on a full charge
Q: Don't EV batteries die after 3 years?
A: There is a lot of FUD about electric cars. Yes they have degradation, usually 1-2% a year after 8 years you may lose 10% and then things stabilize.
Q:What is the battery warranty
A: There is an 8 year battery warranty.
Q: How do I charge the car?
A: You can charge your car at home just like your iPhone...plug it in every night, and no trips to the gas station. If you purchase an additional level 2 charger ( $400-$500), you can charge a dead battery in 5.5 hours.

Oops. I missed the "if you use solar power" part.
Just curious.. what is the standard rate of electricity there?
That math, assuming an additional 2kWh in lost efficiency per charge according to my earlier charges using a Kill-A-Watt, it costs me about $1.40 a day to drive 50 miles. Cheaper than gas by about $1. a day vs a 50mpg Prius, but nowhere near the number you're coming up with.
It's a tempting deal, but residual is pretty low on these
0.25 per 30 miles? Might want to try your math again.
California averages 17c per Kwh. Cars like these do about 250Wh per mile. Or 4 miles per Kwh.
So 17 cents for 4 miles. $1.275 for 30 miles.
Obviously rates vary, some places might have offpeak rates as low as 7c or so per Kwh. Others may be fixed at 25-30c+ per Kwh.
However, if someone can buy 'em for $12k OTD in California and wants a backer to run them thru Turo @ LAX/Burbank/John Wayne, drop me a PM.

"he People First Warranty transfers to subsequent owners for the remainder of its six-year or 72,000-mile coverage – helping protect your investment in a new VW. It comes standard on all 2018 Volkswagen models, with the exception of the electric 2018 e-Golf, which will carry a bumper-to-bumper, 3-year or 36,000 mile (whichever occurs first) New Vehicle Limited Warranty as well as an eight-year, 100,000-mile High Voltage Limited System warranty on its battery."
Even with low residual, how do you go wrong with such a low cost of driving? (Obviously electric has to work for you)
This could be the next electric pickup mod...
