I'm sold on EV technology. Currently I drive an '09 Honda Fit which has been a great car. I estimate I'm spending about $100 a month on gas. Before I bought my Honda Fit, I came very close to buying a Prius but I couldn't justify the added cost of $7k over the price of the Fit at the time.
I'm now seeing '13 Leaf's going for around the same price I paid for my Fit! If I sold my Fit, it will take a few years to recoup so I'm wondering if I should even bother.
My dream car is a Tesla but I typically do not spend over $25k for a new car so I doubt I actually buy one.
Should I wait until my Fit dies or should I take advantage of the lower prices for used Leafs...or even the Federal tax credit and get a new one?
We have a mini-SUV as a gas backup so I'm not concerned about the range, though I do want 70 miles at least.
