>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.
>You have unusually low rates "off peak" (no doubt regulated to be so).....
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?
>....but even so, you still can't make up the cost differential over a conventional vehicle.
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.
Are you nuts, or just bad at math?
