So, I've been mulling over leasing a 2016 SEL e-golf because the incentives are really good right now to clear things out for the 2017 model (which has a gorgeous LCD dash). I'm trying to gauge a few things from the e-golf owners on this forum so here's all the information
1. Leasing for 30 months
2. Drive 65 miles round trip for work (90% highway miles 15% stop and go on highway)
3. L1 Chargers ALWAYS available (and free$) at work
4. L2 Chargers (if I fight others for the charger but also free$)
5. Currently no charing at home (working with landlord for L1 Charger might be able to do L2)
6. 18.5k Miles (because I'm seriously afraid of just running out of miles on a lease, never had a lease before hard to gauge for me)
7. $275 a month for the lease with those stats for 30 months
A. Is this even reasonable? Does it makes sense / seem logical?
B. Does the charging situation seem sound at least temporarily?
C. Has anyone has solid success with getting landlords to support EV? No EV home charging (at any level is super prohibitive for owning and EV)
D. Most importantly, are people really seeing mid to high 80's of miles of range with normal driving?
E. PG&E rebate for L2 chargers is still a thing?
Any and all comments are welcome. Shred the idea if don't think it's super viable for right now or convince me to leave work and go commit. I'm really looking for input as this is my first EV, first lease.
