We bought a new 2017 Leaf instead of a used one for one reason, our power company and Nissan had a program that if I proved I was a customer, I got $10k off my Leaf.

I am sure it was a joint thing, Nissan wanting to get rid of inventory before the 2018 came out and the power company thinking it would make money back on the power sold.

Then our employer (Indiana University) put a charger at the front of the building we work in and charges a flat $3/month EV parking tag (max 4 hours at the charger from 8-5). It is very convenient, you get a parking spot up front, and for the charging once week (well, now three times in two weeks with the cold), it is much pretty cheap. $9 for just under 3 months (1,700 miles). We only use it for commuting to work and grocery shopping (and other intown errands).
