Are these cargo space numbers correct?
30e: 15.9 cu. ft. behind seat and 52.97 cu. ft. seats folded down
30i: 28.7 cu. ft. behind seat and 62.7 cu. ft. seats folded down
Does anyone know the gas tank size of the 30e?
Trade-offs:
* Half the cargo with seats in usual position
* Less range on the highway (from what I assume is a smaller gas tank)
* $6K higher price
$6000 = 750 days driving (30 miles a day, 15 mpg = 2 gals/day @ $4/gal = $8/day). 6000/8 = 750.
So in 2 years, the cost could pay for itself in gas, more or less (not counting the cost of electricity).
And of course, zero emissions while driving (also assuming electricity is from renewable sources).
