If you want cheap it is not the way to go. The Fiat is $199/mo and Volt and Leaf are similar. You're paying a significant premium for the BMW - same as it ever was. They just bumped the residual up so it was even more expensive at launch. Look for the price to drop over the next 6-12 months as I don't think these will go like hotcakes. Time will tell. I've got enough money chunked away in savings to cover the 3 years of lease payments so we'll just drive it and see how it goes.

~$300/month over a Volt. Wow. The BMW probably wins in feel the category, both suck in style IMO, but if I were in the market for a EV I would want the additional range flexibility of the Volt. Ultimately the EV is about the numbers right?
