How much is it? I want one.

But it doesn't use fossil fuel, how could you possibly drive
one?
Also,
it's new technology, and in conservative's minds, that's a bad
thing.

Way ahead of you Bozo. I have 2 electric vehicles already.

Where does the electricity come from?

45% of the electricity generated in the US comes from fossil
fuels.

Yes, but the point you hard core righties fail to understand is that
the
equivalent fuel mileage is around 100 miles per gallon. If we get
off of
our asses and build more non fossil fuel electric infrastructure
that
number will go down. But stupid people are just too afraid of
getting
off of fossil fuel.

-------------------------------------------------
Probably a lot less than 100 mpg. There is loss in the lines
getting the
power to your house. About 8% now. Loss in the charging equipment
(heat)
and loss in the battery itself in charging. Probably maybe 70% tops
efficiency in charging the car. And then loss in the car
discharging the
battery. How many KWH at the power plant required for the car to go
50
miles?

No, it's 100 mpg.

---------------------------------

That's an "equivalent" rating based on the average cost of electricity
as it
produced today for current usages. There are over 250 million cars
on the
road in the USA. If a quarter to half of them were replaced with
electrics
that require electricity generation for charging, what do think will
happen
to the cost of electricity and to it's "equivalent" rating in terms of
mpg?
