This is my first post so sorry if I missed anything. I just got my 2025 Leaf leased yesterday from Boulder Nissan and the price actually is $9/mo. 24 month, 10k miles per year lease. This is the cheapest monthly I've seen in CO.

In order for one CO resident to get a rebate on this car, all the others that cannot afford/don't need/don't have the ability to charge this car get money taken from them and put into the EV car owner's pockets. It's autosocialism folks.
1. At $5/gallon in CA, $10k fuel cost is 2000 gallons per year.. at 20mpg, that's 40k miles per year .. at 30mpg, that's 60k miles per year
2. Installed solar at 50 kwh/day is not cheap.. that's 3x the average.. without batteries that could cost $100 to $200k.. with batteries (Tesla or other) could add $50 to $100k extra.. before incentives and rebates
Very curious what the total cost for solar and the EV was, the total annual savings on gas and electric.. the estimated time to break even .. what would require 60k miles travel per year.. and the warranty on the solar panels and EV battery. Thanks!
Does not California charge extra taxes on gasoline and diesel to cover the highways / freeways?
They will need to come up with taxes on EVs to make up for the switch over from ice to EVs.
So hard to know what the real equation of cost will be even in the near future.
I'd buy a hybrid and get 40/50 mpg but full electric never!
Like my favorite candidate says. You just can't go far
Trust me I know I have a ioniq 5 limited lease. I am getting a phev next time with 500m range.
I will miss instant toque and V2L
However if we can't drill then I guess I will rethink it.
Ev is a bad when it comes to resale

Yes, gas powered is the only way to go!
Plenty of articles out "there" lately, discussing that almost half the current EV owners regret their purchase and are going back to gas powered engines asap.
Thumbs down don't change the truth!!..lol
Lol I came for the knuckle dragger comments and was not disappointed
u have to include those fees into the monthly cost. this is why when you lease you should never ever put anything down and focus on the resulting number. more straightforward.
I think one of the CO rebates is income-based so that could change numbers also. I just have a really difficult time taking advantage of EV deals when my ICE car is running perfectly fine and paid off. I also can't imagine the insurance on a leased car is going to be lower than my 10 year old car. I drive 3 miles round-trip to work, and an EV would be perfect since I also don't do road trips often. Of course, a motorized bike would work too...
Why comment doesn't add anything positive to post .
? You know people who have solar and living a place where they can produce good amount of solar energy, has been pretty much electricity independent for a very long time.
My yearly gas cost was close to $10,000 dollars, in Southern California and with Costco gas. And now I'm driving the same distance, was twice the horsepower, zero gas or electric bill.My panel produced, on average year round, 50 kilowatt hours per day.
I mean if you happen to have a oil field and refinery in your backyard, you'll be crazy to not drive a gas car, this is the same logic.
California gas prices are 2 to 3 times higher than the rest of the nation. With California's massive deficits it's only a matter of time before they start taxing EV mileage.
This is the type of response we should have. I think there are geographic reasons to have specific fuel types, and this makes total sense.
I like saving money, ie slickdeals, but I don't like being forced into one thing or another. If something works for you then why not go that route.
I have looked into solar, but the payback period is over 20 years where I live, Indiana, and thus would make zero sense. However, I would jump at the tech that could save me money.
Awesome that this works so well for you.
On a side note, I bought a 2000 Honda Insight years ago because it saved me money on gas, not for the political stance. It is funny how political thought can be tied to tech.
We also looked into solar with a battery pack for the house a few years ago and came to the same conclusion. It didn't make a ton of sense at the time.
But over the past few years a few things have changed that have us looking into it again. First, cost of electricity has gone up while the cost of the solar panel has gone down. Most importantly to us, and unfortunately hardest to quantify the value of, is the increased number, or likelihood, of blackouts. The solar adds a level of resilience to grid failure that's unmatched by anything else really.
So we have some someone coming to give an estimate next month to see if the equation has changed. We'll see.
Do your research. EVs are the future but these Leafs are definitely the past.
Might be ok if you only plan to charge at home and use it as an around town vehicle, but it's ridiculous Nissan is still trying to sell these.
Do your research, EVs are not the future. They pollute more than gas cars and studies have shown our power grid can't handle an influx of EVs. 99% of EV owners buy them to virtue signal about saving the environment

Until we know the numbers it will be hard to compare costs of different cars.
