I just acquired a Nissan Leaf (probably the only conservative in the country driving one). I got it on a TWO year lease (never thought I’d lease a car), but I got it for $30/month more a month than the gas that I was paying. Plus my employer will pay for the charging at my building, so the cost to charge is going to be VERY minimal for me (weekends, etc). I just went from $.17/mile for gas to $.025/mile electric assuming that I do ALL the charging on my own and not through my employer. Felt like it was almost a draw when you take into account maintenance on my current car that was needed. I did it for the economics, not to save the planet.... :)
Hey if the economics work, go for it.
I’m you understand that the company (Nissan) is subsidizing this lease to “move the metal” as they say in the industry.
The free juice at work makes it a great deal.
