If you think you will ever own a Tesla, having a Tesla EVSE and Jdapter is the way to go imo. If you want to live on the very edge of "what you need" you may be able to survive with the 110 charger that comes with the car. I lived with 110 for 3 years, but since we got our Bolt we've had...

My friend in Ohio went and checked out the car at my encouragement. They're lowest offer was just over $500 per month. Turned him cold on the car. In his mind he was comparing the car to a BMW at that price and it was coming up majorly wanting. This math isn't hard. I'm paying what...

$150 month/$2100 first payment, hot seats, blind spot, trailer hitch, winter mats, CCS, 12k. (Hot seats & hitch my only "must haves". Hitch is why I'm pushing my T3 resi - plus I'd prefer 4wd) Really happy, even ok with uncomfortable seats at this price. Truly awesome car. Friend got premium...

Wow. Here's a cool link http://massenergywebservices.com/drivegreen/table-quick.php?__hstc=160155362.ef12676717985ab7ce5379c2988a4cb1.1501082496719.1501082496719.1501082496719.1&__hssc=160155362.2.1501082496721&__hsfp=1206224270 Check out the "deals table"...

I've always suspected this car would be HOT at under $250 a month (Chevy may have blown a huge opportunity for free promotion and building huge market goodwill by not offering this out of the gate - but they continue to prove shortsighted greedy instead of long term greedy). It seems the market...

Yeah. Comparing Superchargers that have multiple stations per location and charge at up to 400 mph, to CCS stations that charge at 150 mph and only have 1 or 2 plugs - and the uncertainty that creates - is weak sauce/borderline disingenuous (if you are well informed). Supercharger access...

Yes, once the tax credit goes away it is likely to bump residual of all these cars by some amount. But Gary, if you are trying to make an argument of fairness in your bold assertion of telling others what they should and should not buy, the part you almost express but may not fully grasp is...

... or people who want a car that looks great and they can drive more than just regionally. Having driven the Bolt, I like it. I like it a lot. And as I drive a Smart currently, calling the Bolt ugly would be silly. But a car with dubious charging options, and a maximum charge rate of 150 mph...

Yes, net monthly COST not CASH FLOW which is irrelevant as comparable. So deduct that $70 per month - $330 a month. Recently drove the car, really like it for under $300 mo. I think when they start netting at $250 a month they'll be a killer deal. I hope they get there, and hope I'm right that...

Looks like $419 a month all in.

Saw the car at our Auto Show. 100% agree. In three years I doubt these cars will command $15k, particularly the ones without CCS. I would be very uncomfortable assuming depreciation risk on one of these cars.

Looks like below $400 a month all in. Saw the car at the auto show. Once the lease breaks $300 a month all in I think they'll have a real winner.

Here you go, more stuff you might find interesting: Mercedes BMW review - http://bit.ly/CleantechnicaMercBReview - you may not like my opinion here. I agree BMW has highest likelihood of a good sales experience, but I'm now a big fan of the car. Too many small design failures, and the car is...

Regarding Spark EV, I live in Upstate NY. We don't get all the cars. I'd love to try that, and the fiat, but they aren't here. :|
