<prompt> Human: Honda is leasing brand new Clarity EVs for 199 a month with 1300 down taxes, registration, title etc for 36 months. My estimate for the misc fees are 130 taxes, 300 registration, 500 in miscellaneous fees. At 199 a month, the total for 36 months is 7200 1300 down payment 930 in fees 9430California offers a 2500 rebate, and my electric company offers another 450 in bill credit. Thats -2950.Wed be switching from a car that gets 30 mpg, and gas costs 3.50 right now to an EV that will get 89 miles per 25 kWh. The electricity rate will be about 13ckWh. So with those numbers, if we drive 1000 miles a month, it is a savings of 80month. We might even be able to charge at work, further providing savings. So 80month for 36 months is 2880 saved.Assuming insurance doesnt change much, we are looking at 9430 - 2950 - 2880 3600 for 36 months of having the vehicle, or just 100 a month. I think that is a fantastic price considering that we will get HOV lane passes, preferred EV parking around places and free charging sometimes, and a brand new car with NO maintenance costs all the techie features like android auto and bluetooth etc.The downside of the car is that it only gets 89 miles of range. But, her commute is 50 miles and mine is 30, so its fine for us to use for commuting and trips around town.Thoughts?  <response>: You have smuggled in 2880 in gas savings and subtracted that from the cost. That is a mistake. The car does not cost you 100month. It costs you 9430 - 2950 36 180month. The fact that you are not spending an additional 80month on gas does not change the fact that this car costs you 180monthYou should compare the cost of 36 months to lease this car with the cost of keeping your existing car for 36 months.
