What’s green about using household electricity to power a car?

How much are they paying to upkeep the roads and highways since they don’t pay gas tax?

These are just very fancy golf carts and an indulgence for the wealthy. They are not a working person’s vehicle.

Once we perfect the fuel cell for wide and economical manufacture, and get the hydrogen mines in full production, the electrically powered car shall stand a decent chance of wide acceptance. But until then, battery power supply shall not be a sufficiently reliable means of energy storage. Certainly not as economical as hydrocarbon fuel.

Currently nothing! All you petrol buyers are footing the bills.
