Judging from your calculator, assuming I could get one close to base MSRP after January 1st, I may not acually save any money even after 10 years of ownership. I need to get a quote for insurance on a new Bolt, because if the insurance alone stays the way it is I'd save about $200 per year after 10 years. If it goes up $200 per year, I'd break even, but have two cars.

Maybe I'm missing something. But in the end, I still highly doubt I'll be able to take advantage of the incentives and get an EV any time soon.

The only way it could work is if I sold the Avalon. I'm not sure what it's worth now, but probably at the very least $6,000. Na, I think I'll just keep the Avalon.
