For the DIY EV conversion people, batteries are coming WAY down in price. 20kwh worth of Lithium batteries cost $20K two years ago. Now you can find them for around $7K.
Simple math: 60 mile charge X 2000 cycles = 120000 miles on a pack = $0.06/mile for batteries. 20kwh X $0.10 per kwh = $2.00/fill = $0.03/mile energy. TOTAL = $0.09/mile. Not SUPER cheap, but hey, battery prices will only go down. A lot.
