Do you think I'm crazy?

I'm sorry I thought this car was gonna be economical. At 32k (or even 25k) and as small as it is, it's just way to expensive. Email me when they are 12k like the sentra, and other gas autos of the same size. At 24k and the price of the additional electricity (how much can I expect my electric bill to go up by the way every month) it just doesn't seem to be worth it. Will it save me any money, I doubt it. Is it really any greener than the gas alternative, I doubt it. Give me some hard facts on cost studies, to prove to me it really is better for the environment, or cheaper on my wallet, or both and then i'll size down to that tiny thing. Sorry, it's cute, and that's about it.

Sent from my iPad as a response to an email from Nissan about the new Leaf electric car they are trying to sell for three times the cost of it's gas competitor. I think I'd rather buy a golf cart or moped if that's the best they can do.
