Revenge of the Electric Car

APRIL 20, 2010

After a federal tax credit and state rebate, the price of these cars will come out at around a cool 20k. Others include the Fisker Karma, the Aptera 2e, the Coda sedan, Chevy’s Volt and Tesla’s Model S. The Leaf’s suggested retail price of $32,780 drops to $25,280 after a $7,500 federal income tax credit.

Aptera went under. The least expensive, the Mitsu i, could be had in some places for less than $20,000 (with tax credits and rebates) while the Karma will set you back over $100K. We need about 25,000 Americans who don’t know it yet to buy a plug-in car. Bright Automotive went under. The press has not been kind.

Yeah, go buy a 59k Tesla that can go 200 miles… then your screwed, sure go park and get a hotel and charge it for 8 hours… then go another 200 miles, great for long trips i’m sure. Or if you don’t want to go into details, just compare the Volt to the Aptera :-) — James 15. I would buy a Volt for $40K.
