Thanks guys. My local gas right now is $2.75 a gallon but was around $4 most of the year here in Illinois. My electricity rates are 3 cents kw/hr. It seems like we could save a lot with the 45e considering we do mainly 20 to 40 miles of city driving a day.
Regarding the battery, if it goes out in the first 8 years is that covered by the manufacturer warranty?
