Interesting. It does say I can save $4600 a year in fuel costs. (I drive over 100 miles a day @ 21mpg. They used $3.44/gal in the calc.).

If I bought the high end leaf at list of $36,000 (assuming they won't come down, read somewhere there is a $8000 Manufacuturer rebate that I'm not counting). Financed at 0% over 60 months. That's $600 a month car payment. But I save $383 a month in fuel. So that's $600-383 = $216 month increase. $216 over the course of 60 months = $13000.

But then I get a $7500 one-time tax credit. Net cost is $6500.

Manufacturer's warranty is 60 months. Wonder if that includes batteries?

Tennessee doesn't supplement, but you do get a sticker that allows you to drive in the HOV lanes.

Range is 84 miles on a single Charge. I'm out!!!

That’s federal credit. Then you get $5000 state tax credit if you live in GA.
$1500.
For a new car.

Yes, 85 miles. For those of us doing 30-50 mile regular round trips, it works. Might not for you.
