In the San Francisco area, I've been seeing used Leafs selling for less than $10k. I read that EVs have a horrible resale value, so a used EV is your best value.

Can't remember where I read it, but someone said that a battery replacement on a Prius is down to $1k. I would imagine a Leaf battery replacement to be around the same.

I find the Leaf fugly, but if you can get beyond the looks, an EV is a terrific way to go!
