Exactly.

Then again, I vaguely remember someone posting that you can lease an eGolf now for like $50/month if you factor in the federal tax credit? If that's true, and there are similar deals when this lease is up you're better of just leasing a new one I think. I think an EV only i3 can be leased for like $150 so it wouldn't surprise me.
Yeah, I have heard of some mythical, crazy-cheap deals (usually around $100/month). I mean, mine ends up being about $200/month all-in, which is pretty damn good IMO for a loaded eGolf.

Some of those low per-month figures don't include downpayment, taxes, refer to the lower trims (equipment and charger), etc. It also requires luck in availability, etc. But still, that's crazy-low.
