Wonder how well the lightning sell with out the rebates ? Maybe a opp for a discount?

1) We have 100A panel and largely electric heat; 25+ Lightning only charges at 48A so we installed a load balancer device called DCC9/BlackBox EMS (which BC hydro gives a rebate on).
2) Cost of ownership: 20kwh/100km around town, 45kwh/100km towing; 15c/kwh at home so $3/100km or $5.5/100km.
3) Without rebates, buy from an Alberta dealer who was forced to sell them to get F250/350. Margin between MRSP and Invoice is tiny on Lightning so you need to find a dealer willing to really get rid of one ... or last year's model.
