Cost of electricity 13.5c per kwh. Miles driven in EV 18000. Miles per kwh was an average of 4 seasons of driving ~4.7 miles per kwh. I am using $13 for 470 miles. With gas cost of an average of $4 and a gas sedan giving roughly 24-25 miles per gallon of gas with city driving only, we get $80 of gas for every 480-500 miles of driving. Driving about 1500 miles per month the difference between a Gas ICE sedan vs an EV sedan is about $60 per 500 miles on the low side. Hence, save $180 per month (again on the low side) even without the PV Solar panels. When you add the PV solar to the calculation above I am not even paying those $13 per 500 miles of driving (or $39 per 1500 miles).
Hence, for everyone speculating, contesting and arguing here on EV - if you are on SlickDeals then you are here to save money. The above calculation clearly shows an EV can be the biggest saving in your monthly bills if you use it exclusively to drive in the city and if you exclusively charge at home. BTW- most places the electricity is way more expensive so your savings can easily be over $4000 to $5000 per year easily paying for your Solar panels on the roof within 3-4 years. It is also the greenest way of driving since you are not using the Grid electricity generated via Coal or Natural gas. Instead you use the Sun to charge and drive your EV.
For instance in California where I am at, it is NEM 3. A solar systems have a starting cost of 20k to 35k in my area. That's about a cost of a new car already. If I had a choice between EV or a entire solar system, I would probably pick the solar system.
Unless you charge and park your car at home during solar production hours, you're probably losing money. This also assumes everyone can buy a home and arent renters.
Your comment is spot on with the judgment. . I find the Mustang, GTR's, Supras, M cars, and corvettes to be boring, yet I don't pass judgement or make people feel unwelcome.
quite surprised at so much discussion
for a car/deal that isnt even available
but carry on
This is a very YMMV deal.
In the case of BEVs, most of them can not access the $7500 IRA tax credit except by leasing.
National average price of gas in 2023 was $3.52 [eia.gov], not $4, btw.
The average MPG of ALL CARS SOLD in 2023 was ~ 25, but that's ALL new cars. You can't use "vehicles on the road" either because your comparison case is a new EV. I mentioned the numbers for the Corolla, many models of comparable size will be similar.
Then you go on to quote your insurance rate - $400/yr, which I can't even fathom how you get there, no state in the nation [marketwatch.com] has numbers that low, unless it's liability only - which you're absolutely not going to buy for a brand new car, and if it has a loan you're certainly not eliminating collision.
Then you confuse when I say "$2000 in insurance, reg and taxes" - that's me, as I said, but that number is probably low. Insurance itself is probably closer to $1500, and we pay property tax on cars, that's probably around $1000/yr. Registration is every 2 years for $122.
The core issue is you speak of anecdotes, and your anecdotes aren't any more valid than mine or the next person's, which is why I state a couple things - what makes sense for me, and then country averages. As the SD saying goes, YMMV, pun intended.
It's almost as if you're confused on how to make honest comparisons. Either that or you're being purposefully obtuse.
Similarly, I already and very clearly mentioned in my previous post that I have Liability only insurance and the car is fully paid off. The cost for my Leaf is $175 for 6 months. Once again, I don't care what the national averages are because that's what I pay. Maybe Tesla insurance is high but I didn't buy Tesla because it wasn't offering a 7500 rebate when I bought my EV.
Property tax on car is not a comparison measure because you would pay it on EV or ICE regardless.
You are the one making incorrect comparisons and giving national averages. I gave you actual and clear details including my cost of electricity, cost of gas (if you want to count lower cost then you can redo by all means), a local driving mileage for a ICE sedan (let's consider a Nissan Altima in this case).
(Premium trim, code PED-11). $329 due at lease signing. $0 security deposit." That's a lot more than advertised!!

The total cost does not matter because in my area the people who stopped at my door, and due to which I started my research on the panels & PV systems, quoted me 3 times of what I eventually paid.
Another friend of mine that got his system from such a scrupulous company paid twice my amount for a smaller than mine system.

Don't forget sales tax, in most states you only pay tax on the lease payment. If you buy the car, you pay sales tax on the whole value and never get back any when you sell...
so the 158 is mor like 119 miles. That is my point.

Please share a particular dealership info if the $241/mo offer is still valid.
Thanks.
