That's weird because currently electric cars cost less to operate per mile than gasoline cars, even when you count having to replace the battery every 200,000 miles or so.
A $35,000 electric car in expensive California uses about $4,250 worth of electricity to drive 100,000 miles. A gas car would require over $13,000 in gas to drive the same distance. The gas car also needs oil changes and regular service that the electric car doesn't need. If the oil and service costs $150 every 5,000 miles it's another $3,000 for the gas car. That puts you at $12,000 more to operate the gas car for 100,000 miles.
>$4250 worth of electricity
When it's only a handful of people using the electricity to charge cars. They're proposing that they'll add tens of millions of electric cars. At the same time they are closing power plants and regulating coal to the point it'll be unusable. So a massive demand in electricity at the same time we have a dropoff in production will spike the price. They know this. They planned this.
They are also killing nuclear generating plants.
Nuclear plants can produce gasoline, and any other hydrocarbon. All ya need is heat and raw materials.
And coal plants, which are the best option for power generation in many cases.
It will have to quadruple just to cost the same as gas.
And it will, and more. The whole point of the global warming bullshit is to make gas and electrcity more expensive.
or if they drop the subsidies for buying and mfg electric cars
Efficient solar panels would ready fuck up their plan.
They don't work when they are covered by snow.
solar and windmills take as much energy to make as they actually generate in a lifetime.
They know this. They planned this.
You give them too much credit.
And then you have more fun times like when texans got gaped by their electricity providers.
Ok wise guy, deducts the state and federal subsidies on those electric cars and add in the disposal fees for those toxic waste batteries and get back to me.
It’s almost free! Plus, recharging a car from the power generated from fields of lollipops and jellybeans feels really good.
I'm not counting the incentives. In California the incentives add another $11,000 to the deal. The incentives often make the electric car cheaper than the gas car right off the lot. There is no fee to dispose of the battery. They are recycled the same as when you get a new 12V battery for your regular car.
Without taxes the cost of gas would be half of what it is now, depending on the state. They'll find a way to tax electric cars to make them prohibitively expensive for the average person once they kill off cars that have an internal combustion engine.
Then E-lon flips the double-secret kill switch and all the e-cars go rogue and run off of a cliff.
Bang!
Population control 2.0 blamed on a glitch.
E-lon told me as much over an eight ball of cocaine.
....or not.
Idyllic. Until you take into account the fact that electric cars cost much more than you said. Do not save on carbon until 80,000 miles. And they cant keep the lights on in commiefornia now!

Current electric vehicle prices are:
- Chevy Bolt: $31,772 - $7500 Federal tax rebate - $2,000 California CVRP - $1500 California Clean Fuel Reward = $20,772
- Nissan Leaf S+: $31,328 - $7500 Federal tax rebate - $2,000 California CVRP - $1500 California Clean Fuel Reward = $20,328
- Toyota Prius Prime: $25,931 - $4,501 Federal tax rebate - $900 California Clean Fuel Reward = $20,530
- Honda Clarity: $30,957 - $7500 Federal tax rebate - $1,000 California CVRP - $1,500 California Clean Fuel Reward = $20,957
That's just some of the available electric cars.A brand new car that has 1/4 the operating costs and costs less than a gas car? Yes, thank you. The plug-in hybrids are even better because you can run on gas, too.
You imagine you see them all over the place because people are retarded when the real reason is that some people understand math.
None of those cars are that cheap and you ignore the electric l
Completely ignoring the electrical supply problem
Just watch the electricity prices.
We were at 3 cents in 2000.
We are at 17.5 cents today.
600% inflation over 20 years.
Electric car is not much good without electricity.
The good news is you can make your own electricity.
You may well have to.
We were at 3 cents in 2000.
Nope. I keep all my electric bills. We were at 10.3 cents in 2000. That's a 70% increase over 20 years, or 2.69% per year. That's just standard inflation.
