It's not only about the economics, though. The CO2 you are no longer emitting has value in itself.

  CO2 emissions of one car are utterly inconsequential

    No single raindrop is responsible for a flood, either. But collectively it does matter.

      The raindrop argument is like suggesting that we rebuild a beach a single grain of sand at a time. Le Bourget airport outside of Paris was packed with hundreds of private jets for the Paris conference; all those “important” people nullifying the effects of thousands of Leafs. I stop my raindrop, they start a thunderstorm, so I hardly see the point of spending extra money when the “important” people have no respect for the sacrifices of normal people.

        Over 250,000 leaf's have been sold which is still a drop in the bucket but a meaningful one as there are a lot of cars on the road. Further, the poster has solar power and pays "amortized cost is approximately $0.13Kwh" making a gas powered car a far worse option.
