I put a deposit down for the i3, purely for business use.
I realize the car may not win a lot of beauty pageants but it does draw attention out on the open road. No doubt some good advertising for our company once I put our logo on the car. In addition, I reimburse my sales guys for mileage (@ $0.56/mi) much more than what it'd cost us to lease and utilize the i3.
The argument could be said, "why not go with a Leaf / Volt / Spark / Fit EV, etc.?" They're cheaper and almost as efficient but it just doesn't draw attention.
Can't wait!
