Ready for flames here, but I’m probably going to “buy” one.
First, the $7,500 tax CREDIT is enticing
I own a business, and the write off of the purchase in 1 year with our current tax code is also enticing.
My office is 15 minutes from home, and most of my travel is local. Overnight charging will more than make that up.
I’ve been told by the Ford dealership that rather than a lease, they will give me a guaranteed buyback price after 3 years of ownership. That is why I said “buy” with quotation marks. The 3 year term eliminates my concerns about battery issues.
Taking my write-offs into account my cost of ownership for those 3 years will be down to around $100/m. I spend more than triple that on gas.
This will be vehicle #4 so trips and towing aren’t concerns.
For someone like you it makes sense. But for the average guy not so much..................
