Assuming you're small enough to fit comfortably, owning the cheap EV of your dreams could soon become a reality. Chevy recently cut the Volt's price (http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc9 24805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadget.com%2F2013%2F08%2F06%2 F2014-chevy-volt-price-drop%2F) and, as of this week, the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive (http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc9 24805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadget.com%2F2013%2F03%2F29%2 Fwe-take-the-us-bound-smart-electric-drive-for-a-spin-video%2F) is available for less, too. Specifically, it's $139 per month on a three-year, 30,000 mile lease that includes its "battery assurance plus" program, an $80 per month option for purchasers. However, to get that special rate, you'll have to put $1,999 down and sign paperwork either in California, Oregon or along the East coast.

In addition to any tax breaks you get from the state and or federal government, the company is knocking $5,010 off the ED's (http://redirect.viglink.com?key=11fe087258b6fc0532a5ccfc9 24805c0&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.engadget.com%2F2011%2F12%2F26%2 Fsmart-fortwo-ev-gets-delayed-until-september-unspecified-probl%2F) already low $25,000 sticker price. It's finally looking like your payments could match the electric two-seater's diminutive stature.
