Yeah, it would have been GREAT if you could have called in: 10 grand for a conversion??? You would have set him straight! The host was put off by that number too. I just hope that someone doesn't give up an hopes of an electric car based solely on the cost. Also, it would have been nice if he gave some ACTUAL costs per month to charge a car. Wisconsin is probably at about 10 cents/KWh right? He just sort of went off on his "I have a solar panel and only pay $100/year for electricity" and never really answered. I think it would have been nice if he could say "if the rate is 10c/KWh and you drive 40 miles a day, your bill would be between $10-$25/ month". (I just totally made those numbers up, but I would research it before a radio show). But all that aside, it was very nice to hear a good piece on electric vehicles. Thank you for posting it....
