So you're saying that the money you save on fuel (free electricity) offsets your lease payment, your insurance coverage, and whatever maintenance costs for your i3? Somehow I find that very hard to believe. Getting a second car to save money never really works. You can't save more money in fuel than than you spend for everything else. It's just not possible.

I average roughly $238 a month in fuel on the M2 as a daily. My i3 lease is 202 a month plus 50 a month in insurance. The $14 or so dollars could be depreciation saved which is probably more. Not to mention the EV rebate of $1500 for just leasing the car.
I never have charged the car at home and only filled up the range extended (2.2 gallons) 4 times. The math works out really well. Living in an area when the M2 is off the road for 3-4 months the math works extremely well in the winter. Of course with both cars on the road it hurts the other way a little.
