"At potentially 4x the cost of electric energy, and help finance terrorists..."
LOL....so that's it? You have unusually low rates "off peak" (no doubt regulated to be so).....but even so, you still can't make up the cost differential over a conventional vehicle.
So, be "green", or be a terrorist supporter? Is that how it goes?

No, you seemed to be making the point that saving a little money was not worth the inconvenience of charging a battery, so I offered one more incentive to make the effort.

As far as I know, no regulation is involved. The utility is just trying to reduce their peak load. Do I need to explain why that reduces their costs?

I think the numbers are pretty clear that if I can buy a plug-in hybrid at a price within $5000 to $10000 of a 'conventional vehicle', it would save me money.
