Has no one considered the costs of re-charging all these batteries?
I think you will find that most here are well aware of the many issues surrounding EV’s.
Maybe so. But I have not seen here an estimate of the costs of re-charging batteries for, say a typical 12,000 mile per year auto usage. Could you please give me a reference site?
Unfortunately no because I wouldn't seriously consider powering anything other than a golf cart with existing battery technology.
Some enthusiasts do use lead acid battery packs to operate converted electric vehicles where they've removed the engine and connected an electric motor directly to the transmission but I have no idea what the annual cost is.
New battery technology is required to make EV's practical on a large scale. That technology is on the horizon but since it's not yet in mass production, I don't think anyone could hazard anything but a wild guess as to annual costs. If you have such info, that would be handy to know.
