Gas, 5 minutes, recharge, 2+ hours, a top off overnight. While the electricity is cheaper per mile, that is true only if you ignore battery replacement costs.

I like electric cars because I have a geek streak, not because they are practical The governmert likes them, a sure indication that they are a waste of money.

So if it takes 2 hours to charge your battery, these cars might not be good for a cross country trip. You would have to know there was a place to charge everywhere you stopped. How many miles would a charge last?
