For me, our 5 year old gas vehicle is perfectly fine for many many years. And at our tax rate cannot use any Tax Credit to lower price. But if our situation changed I would consider.

Two answers to that. No way and no how.
Two reasons. First, the Rav4 still has close to 40,000 miles left on a bumper-to-bumper warranty and we get 40 MPG on the highway. AND we own it.
Second, I'm not a fan of the eco bee ess surrounding electric vehicles. That electricity comes from somewhere and if people knew just where, there'd be a lot less of them tooling around in an electric vehicle. Well over three fifths of our electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels. Nuclear is 18.9%. Barely a fifth of our electricity is generated by renewables and a lot of that consists of burning wood, landfill gas and municipal solid waste.
