It would need to be freeway-capable with a reliable won't strand-them 50-ish mile range in a Phoenix summer with modest air conditioning usage. I see that some have recommended LEAFs, but I personally would have a hard time recommending one for Phoenix if you need 50 miles of range on the freeway in the heat and expect to keep that range for years to come. Phoenix was the epicenter of rapid capacity loss for the 2011-2012 LEAF, after two years owners could not make it 50 miles per charge. Now, if you lose enough capacity Nissan will install a new supposedly heat-tolerant battery (or you can buy one for about $6k installed if no longer under warranty) that should survive Arizona heat better, but no-one is really sure how long even the heat-tolerant lizard pack will last there. After 4 years in southern California my '11 LEAF with 2 capacity bars lost will do just about 50 miles on the freeway with light air conditioning usage from 100% to the first low-battery warning at which point there's about 12 miles of range left. In my opinion, all the affordable EVs are risky investments for someone on a limited budget who need a reliable 50 miles of range. They might consider a used plug-in hybrid, like a Volt, whose battery appears to be holding up much better in the heat. But they are also priced more than the LEAF on the used market. -Dave ___ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org For EV drag racing discussion, please use NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA)

The Chevy Spark was on lease for 134 a month and Zero down. Hard to beat. Late in life it might be better to lease unless you are going to drive a lot of miles. The buy back is somewhat low so it might be a good long term investment in wheels but the Nissan Leaf might have the best deal as a replacement pack is 5500 dollars. There was also a 99 dollar lease on the Fiat 500. Lawrence Rhodes.. -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
