[QUOTE="barnyard, post: 3370206, member: 13921"] All electric Fiat 500s are coming off lease and selling for right in the $5k range. 2 friends own them and a couple more are looking at them. I have a 21 mile round trip to the building. My wife's commute is about the same. We put a new breaker box last year and thought about adding a car charging circuit to the garage while we were at it. I am not sure what the mileage equivalent would be here, where it is cold. My friend in Raleigh, NC says that her car is over 50 mpg equivalent. She has charging stations at work and there are charging stations all over DT Raleigh. I have seen charging stations in the Mpls/St Paul metro, but only 2 or 3 in my area. There are Tesla quick charge stations on the I94 corridor, including at least 1 in my area. There are no charging stations in the area where I deliver. We could easily replace 1 of our cars with an e-car, but need to have the range of a gas car for seeing our daughters and pulling a small trailer on vacation. If my building installed a charging station, we would probably buy a plug in hybrid. [/QUOTE]
