Satoshi_Nakamoto saysThis actually gives me a pause when I'm thinking about installing panels on the roof
Outside the cost of the panels and install, this is probably my first worry. If they're not installed correctly and I get a roof leak, well that could boost the cost of this whole thing a whole hell of a lot, wholly hell. I don't trust most contractors, even the ones I personally know.
If you need a new car sooner than that, you have another problem that probably isn't all that environmentally friendly needing a new car every 3 years.
Nobody needs a new car but it is nice to have one.
Somebody needs a decent 3 year old used car with good mpg.

Cars are not friendly to the environment.

That’s the sweet spot when it’s still next to new but 75% discount from new

2015 Mercedes electric drive (100%electric)
Sorry, but "Leaf" and "cool" do not belong in the same sentence. It's an econobox, dorkmobile or whatever the proper derogatory term is for Corollas and Versas of this world.
You should check out the latest model of the Leaf.
Versa is a case of 'you-need-a-car-badly-we've-got-a-bad-car-for-you'.

Yep, it's basically a Renault.
Just out of curiosity, why would you replace a Volt with another Volt, instead of a Bolt?
My daughter has a 2017 Volt which she does not want. I will replace the 2015 Volt lease, and buy her car.
I also feel comfortable with the Volt not having range anxiety. 80% of the time I will using electricity only.

With a >200 mile range EV, you shouldn't have any range anxiety. We go all over the place with our Leafs. It is almost never an issue with our limited range, especially when you have a routine. Malls, movie theaters, grocery stores, convenience stores.....they are putting in fast chargers. It is such a time saver to not have to go to get gas, you just charge up as part of your errand.

I wonder if this takes into account the artificially low cost of solar due to dumping of solar cells by China. Maybe solar is not so cheap in reality.
But still, it's very good news and going to solve many problems:
* terrorism is funded mainly by our dollars flowing to Saudi Arabia and Qatar
* coal causes pollution directly, especially in China (from which it blows over to California)
* global warming is likely exacerbated by our use of fossil fuels
