And
estimated prices are AFTER the current $7,500 Federal Tax Credit on plug-in vehicles, so the Chevy Bolt is likely a $40,000 car equipped with a few options, and the Tesla Model X is likely at least $45,000 or more with options. And there's no absolute guarantee the tax credit will remain in place at that level. And if these are
wildly successful, the tax credit diminishes with total sales US exceeding 200,000 vehicles, and eventually disappears entirely.

Current low oil and gas prices do nothing to improve the miles/years to pay back the cost difference picture, but if you are determined to 'go green' you can probably afford the initial cost to "go green", and fuel savings payback period isn't a significant factor in a purchase decision.
