The equivalent Canadian Volt starting MSRP is $38,315 (which includes a $500 credit if you pay cash). I subtracted $100 A/C tax since it is included in GM's MSRP but not Toyota's. Both the RAV4 Hybrid and the Volt are "starting MSRP" which exclude the destination charge ($1,760 and $1,600, respectively). So, a "total MSRP" which includes the A/C tax and destination charge would be: $36,575 RAV4 Hybrid XLE $40,015 Volt base trim I think.
I must've been thinking the Premier. You're right. The prices are all over the place. If you look at the menu, it says $38,490 including A/C tax. In Quebec, the prices listed must be inclusive of all fees (destination, A/C, battery/tire levy). Honestly, I don't know why PDI isn't included. It's a hidden cost of $1,500-$2,000. Infiniti used to back in the early 2000s but back then, PDI was $1,000 or less. Nope. The current crop of EVs (LEAF, i-MIEV, Smart ED) would be the first.
Holy cow, from where did this 9-page thread emanate? I guess it was moved here. As a "traitor," I must have missed its source location (the back of the new Prius is as fugly as ever).
Not too sure why this thread exists at all to tell you the truth. Comparing a sedan that you won't be able to get for 2 years to a hatch that won't be available until next year. The Tesla Model 3 will be high 30's to mid 40's by the time you option it up to what will be available on the Prime base and no chance of incentives. The Prime will be in the mid to high 20's after incentives. In all seriousness you could probably title the thread Prime and then Tesla 3, because you could lease the Prime and by the time the lease on the Prime runs out you might be able to get a base Tesla Model 3. Unsupervised!
drash - You make a good point, but at this point, I suspect we are all just reading and watching. Personally, I could generate interest in any of the cars mentioned. High on my 'wish-list' is the Tesla 3 .... but there is so much to learn about it. I find the Prime more attractive than the hatchback, but from everything I have read, Toyota is not offering it as an EV (except hydrogen). Another vehicle I am watching is the Ioniq EV. I like it's looks, but the range is too short ... but who knows, by the time it is on the market, the range may have been increased. I suspect all of the manufacturers are dropping hints and clues, and watching the reaction. I suppose the EV range can be whatever the buying public wants as long as it is understood the longer the EV range, the more expensive it will be.
Hyundai has already announced another BEV to follow the Ioniq with 200 mile range. So I don't see the 110 mile range to change much. it will be one of the most affordable BEVs on the market. The Soul EV is $32k with 90 miles. The Ioniq EV should undercut it. Then Nissan still hasn't given a clue about the next Leaf.
I put in a reservation in-store the day they opened. It's the most expensive care I've ever envisioned, but the idea of creating my own energy on my terms is too enticing to pass up. My financial situation may not be able to incorporate it, but at least time is on my side. Range is the most important factor to me, so if I can only have one option it's going to be the biggest battery! It is a limited ranged, buggy-looking thing with poor battery cooling, isn't it?
