>>How much will it cost for electricity alone for such a car to travel 100 miles?<< That depends on current gas/electricty prices. In this example, it would cost $2.70 for the electric auto vs. $12.00 for the gasoline auto... en.wikipedia.org >>Will more coal, nuclear or natural gas be used to generate more electricity? Will CA allow more of those plants to be built?<< The source of electricity will continue to be a HUGE political issue. Other sources should be included in the discussion, as well as potential savings from more efficient power lines, appliances, light bulbs, etc. >>And how long is such an electric car scheduled to 'live'?<< Electric cars should last longer because they have fewer moving parts, but battery replacement could be an issue... en.wikipedia.org
