I am from Canada, and I shop around for EVs and finally ended up in a Nissan dealership for Leaf. The Leaf SL plus 2023 has been quoted at CAD 61,000 (USD 44700) and with government rebates, the net price will be CAD 51,000 (USD 37,400). The dealer offered a financing option at 7%, which might be because of the current inflation rate. For 5 years and 6 years, interest paid will be approx. CAD 8500 and CAD 10600, respectively. If the interest is factored in, when all the factors are considered (such as insurance, maintenance, etc.), would it be still cost-effective to commit to this deal compared with driving a gas car? I commute 95 – 100 miles/day.
Appreciate any thoughts/ suggestions.
