If an EV gets 250Wh/mile (not an unreasonable number), then it goes 4 miles per KWh, and costs 10/4 = 2.5 cents/mile. My Prius gets about 50 mpg, so $2.85/50 = 5.7 cents per mile. I think these are the kinds of numbers most people will care about. How much does it cost me per mile to drive my car? Is the reduced cost worth the tradeoffs in other areas that I need to make to drive an EV?

Exactly Patrick ... you've got it! An electric motor is far more efficient (and reliable) at delivering shaft horsepower than any ICE. Bring on the plug-ins.
