Electric cars have dropped in price over the years, while the cost of gasoline has increased.
Meanwhile, the performance and range of these cars seem to improve every year.
The environmentalist in you wants to get one, but does the accountant?
We started at Kelowna Nissan and ended up at BDO Canada's Kelowna office where Jeanie McLean compared the cost of ownership between the all-electric Nissan Leaf S, and it's gas-powered cousin, the Nissan Versa Note SR.
After the $5 thousand rebate, at $33,619, the Leaf sticker price is about $12 thousand more than the Versa Note SR. The question is, with the Leaf driving past all those gas stations will the savings add up enough to impress the accountant?
