There’s another factor: The Charging Station. The US paid $106,000 to have two installed in Switzerland. Does anybody know what they cost here?

It will charge from dead flat to full charge in about 12 hours on a standard 110VAC line.

A $1000 220 VAC charger will shorten that time to 4-6 hours.

I almost always have my car in the garage by 9 PM and drive it beginning at 7:30 AM. I we go out later, we would take another car.

I also have a 1962 Studebaker Hawk GT, so I kinda like these odd cars.

They are priced at about $2,000 each. However, that does not include installation or possible upgrade of your home electrical system to handle the extra load. Good news though, they will work with any of the other electric cars coming on to the market.
