You can get the cheaper/questionable ones for $500-$600. More known brands closer to $900.How much does the device cost that you install in your house so that you can recharge the vehicle?I could be all over that here in a year or so when I'm ready for my new vehicle... assuming they still have deals like that. Wow.
So, to oversimplify it a bit, if your local utility actually burned gasoline to create electrcity, that gas-to-electricity-to-EV-battery-to wheels is still more efficient than gas tank to engine to wheels. EVs have a better footprint if you are strictly talking carbon.
So is it a stupid assumption that a 220v outlet in my garage (no idea why it's there, it was there when I bought the place) would take care of that?You can get the cheaper/questionable ones for $500-$600.

Gotta pay the electrician for the 220V hookup, as well.
Most EVs come with a Level 1 (110V) EVSE (charger), but that is slow. Think overnight recharge.
Yeah a dedicated 220V oulet would be what you need. 30Amp im guessing? Perfect for a 6-7 kW onboard charger like in the Ford Focus EV.Mr. Ected said:So is it a stupid assumption that a 220v outlet in my garage (no idea why it's there, it was there when I bought the place) would take care of that?You can get the cheaper/questionable ones for $500-$600.

$35,000 - $7500 federal tax credit = $27,500 - $6000 colorado tax credit = $21,500 - $1000 to reserve one on March 31 = $20,500 at time of delivery. Seriously considering this even though I don't typically drive a sedan. Does anyone have any experience with Tesla regarding dealer fees, upgrades? I was curious how these work with Tesla
Good god - I just did a little i-shopping and it's crazy how cheap these things are. Is there a huge battery degradation issue that these things are having?proninja said:
Tesla also getting closer and closer to that 200k delivered mark where the $7500 tax credit goes adios. Will be interesting to see how that affects sales.
Holy crap there's a ton between $8k - $9k right around me. Why are these things so cheap? With a round trip commute of 62 highway miles, I think my commute would work, yes?
I want to learn more about how long these batteries last and what the degradation rate is. Also - what will it cost to get it replaced (the battery).proninja said:

BMW has similar plans - in the next five years the entire fleet will be electric or range extended hybrids.
Private industry all going in the same direction.....yet our President is going to "BRING BACK COAL!"
They're just going to have to figure out how to get the cost down to stay competitive with people who may not value Hybrid as much. When I got my XC90, there was absolutely no way to justify the premium from the T6 (supercharged/turbocharged 4 cyl) to the T8 (hybrid). It was like $12,000 difference. Even after government incentives, it was way too much of a premium. My XC was already more pricey than my other options. If I HAD to buy the T8, I'd have been priced out of the market.
