[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1430138, member: 43436"] We considered leasing a Leaf last year. With nothing down, the monthly payment - including tax - was less than $200 for 24 months / 24,000 miles (this was the maximum time for this price). The first month's payment was "free," there were no deal fees (e.g. no "document" fee, etc.) but there was a $400 disposition fee. Georgia offers a $5000 tax credit that only the lessee (not the lessor) can claim. Thus, in GA, there are many people who leased the Leaf for nothing out of their pockets. One thing to consider: you need a 240V outlet / charger in order for the Leaf to be viable -- it takes all day (literally... 24 hours) for a full charge on 120V. Most communities require these to be installed by a licensed contractor, so expect to pay $1500-$3000 for the charger + installation (will vary based upon your location & type of charger selected). Some grants exist (depending on where you live) that will cover some or all of these charges. Also note that many local utilities offer a separate rate package for charging stations connected to their own meters. With my local utility, if you charge your car off-peak (between 8PM-8AM Monday-Thursday, and from 8PM Friday until 8AM Monday), it estimates the Leaf at $1.50 per charge. Ultimately, we decided not to go with an electric car due to the harsh winters here. [/QUOTE]
