And all the run down batteries will only add to the traffic jam.
Color me skeptical about this idea of electric cars in Houston. My commute is over 40 miles one way when I drive it. yahoo
What did he quote, 10,000 miles per year is 2,500 kwh. More than the average house consumes in a year? Really? We average this much a month.
At 2,500 kwh x $0.13/kwh that is a bargain of 10,000 miles for a whopping $325.00 a year for fuel? I’ll believe it when I see it.

Yea - even China and Mexico average more energy than 2500 kwh per month. This is the problem when you have liberals who grew up HATING MATH trying to do some arithmetic. I’ve read enough on the Volt, it will cost about 4 cents per mile in electricity...the Prius is about 5 to 6 cents for just operating on gas (at today’s prices). Seems like a no-brainer to me, for people who want low per-mile cost - assuming they don’t mind paying an extra 50% in sticker price (for either type of car).
