The battery pack holds 85 kWh, so it is estimated that the car uses 70 kWh to go its 265-mile range. Not counting the battery replacement cost, a “fill-up” in Phoenix would cost around $4 (at summertime off-peak rates) or $14 (at summertime daytime peak rates), with only the gas-using peons paying the gas taxes to maintain the roads.

With the cost of replacing the batteries being the same as the average car on the market today, I guess I'll remain a gas tax paying peon for the foreseeable future. Hell, I bought a brand new Mustang GT as a twenty-something for less than these option packages they're talking about.

You know what? A 60s 427 corvette. Is a hell of a bunch more. Fun cheaper to maintain and has WAY less impact. On the environment. See you weenies on the road. You’ll. Know me by my tail lights,

...with only the gas-using peons paying the gas taxes to maintain the roads.That may become a thing of the past, with recent proposals to tax cars by mileage.
