>>Using some of the claims above and my local cost of electricity:
3300 watts (on a 120V line)
20 hours (on a 120V line)
3300 x 20 / 1000 = 66 kw-hrs
$0.10 cost per kw-hr (Progress Energy SC))
66 x .10 = $6.60 cost of a full charge
100 miles on a full charge
$6.60 / 100 = $0.066 Electricity cost per mile

For comparison, assuming $2.80/gallon and 32 mpg, a gasoline powered car will consume $0.088 of gas per mile.<<

Liberals really don’t like math — it is too fact-based.

yes I agree
you don’t see significant ev sales in Europe or Japan yet and their fuel cost is at least 2x USA
