JF, > The equivalent cost compared to oil is $1 per gallon. That's not what I saw. From the time the oil or coal is burned at the power plant to the time the electricity is used to power the car, the actual savings in energy is not that significant. The exaggerated claims reminds me of hybrid technology. Many people think we can cut our oil consumption in half if we all drove hybrids. The reality is more complicated and much less rosy, even though I'm still a believer in the technology. Tenchusatsu
