“What is the advantage of electric cars?”

You save a lot of money on gas.

But you spend more on the car, on electricity, on disposal of the batteries.

Sounds like a another bad idea whose time has come.

Yeah, I figured out that for the price differential, I could buy a brand new car like mine, drive it 15 years and nearly a quarter million miles before the gas powered car and fuel would catch up to the initial cost of the electric. That was without taking into consideration any of the cost for the electricity, which would up it even more.

Electric cars are not any better for the environment - probably actually worse in terms of resources used and chemicals dumped into the environment. They (electric cars) sure do not make economic sense in any way.
