dcb,

I agree cost is a real world measure

but if gas is over twice as expensive as electricity to fuel with in 2007
why did it take over $4 a gallon spike in 2008 for folks to say - "well maybe I should look at a hybrid"

I agree with Aerohead - we are just now reaching a tipping point for EVs
and if oil stays low and people forget - production EVs will go away - like all those before

calculate how you want
the EVs are not a stellar performers... yet

(that said - the afterlife of my S10 probably involves batteries)
