Well, I guess it's too late in your case, but the first thing I asked my dealer when they asked for a deposit was, "is it fully refundable?". When you received your agreement, I would have immediately called the dealer and debated the non-refundable deposit, if in fact it was never discussed. There is such a demand for the Ody that he would have absolutely no problem immediately selling the vehicle if you backed out of the order.
I paid my dealer deposit via credit card over the phone and it was charged immediately to my card just as yours was. When we received the order invoice reflecting our deposit, it plainly said "refundable".
In your particular case (a non-refundable deposit), of course the dealer is going to bill your credit card immediately....they want their money. I would check with your credit card company to inquire about the "window of opportunity" for protesting a charge.
Good luck.
