* You will recoup the $2000 in reduced electricity costs.
* People without home electricity are exactly the market for this car.
* Who is suffering exactly by offering this as an option ?

$2000 of electricity would take these cars 40 years to generate.
Their warranty will be up in 4 years, and they will be in the scrap yard by 15 years, at best.

Two grand in electricity from a couple square meters of panel will take an incredibly long time. Like an idiotically long time. This is a scam marketing ploy and nothing more.
* The attitude "$2000 is a blip" is why electric cars are expensive.
* People without home electricity (or who live in dense urban areas without parking) are not the market for the car at this time. There is no reason to make everyone else suffer out of theoretical concern for people who don't even own cars now.
