The Rav4ev avg Ebay cost is $38K. The Nissan Leaf will be out in 2012 for full production, testing in select markets begins this year. Safety is better w/ the Nissan Leaf due to new technologies (i.e. side impact airbags, possibly electronic stability control, etc..). But, if they get held up w/ testing or some other unforeseen circumstance, it's always possible the 2012 date can be pushed back, although, trusting a big name like Nissan can also be highly likely for a 2012 roll out.
The Toyota Rav4ev is tried & tested by owners since it's sale between 1999-2003. Minimal upkeep related to maintenance. Could save $2-4000 on gas alone.
I like the environment. I drive a lot >25,000 miles per year.
Resale value on Toyota Rav4ev is strong, even after other electric vehicles will hit the market such as the Leaf. Over 50,000 have signed up for Nissan Leaf information & possible first buyers. People, like myself, want electric cars. No more oil lessens war. Won't stop it.
The Nissan Leaf will be between $27-35000, but I am betting on high end because Nissan will be unable to lease the batteries, increasing the cost for consumers. I'm thinking ~$35K.
