A real shame. I never thought I'd go back to an ICE. Feels like such a step backwards. But 2016 rates have been too high, there's still a new 2015 for sale for too much, our residual is still almost $20,000. And my commute is potentially more erratic requiring much longer range. No long range option yet available.
I hope I can get back into an EV without losing my shirt on the Mini. We may get a Pacifica EV to replace our 10yr old Grand Caravan, although its still doing well at 140k.
sounds like the too common issue of nonexistent public charging support. yeah, got that here too. it sucks and its getting worse, not better. the glow of federal funding for the initial installs has long since faded to black.
Now I know how people without a penny to their name feel when they go on a game show and win a car only to be told they can't have the car until they pay the sales tax...
