I forgot the part about 'carbon' capture, the cost of which has been estimated in a recent EPA report. For the capture part alone, forgetting about the cost of transporting it and pounding it down a hole, the number range given runs up to $95 per ton of CO2. Of course, they do not know that a ton of CO2 represents only 12/44 ton of carbon, so for cheap coal, having half its weight as carbon the element, we are talking about an effective cost of using that coal of around $200 compared to about $20 now.
So we need to rethink our expectations for cheap operation of electric vehicles.
