[QUOTE="brett636, post: 841034, member: 249"] The one thing to keep in mind when considering the cost to recharge is the electrical grid we have now could not sustain everyone owning an electric car. Atleast at today's electricity prices. If EVs do take off like I believe the price to keep them on the road will go up as more people need more electricity to charge them. Here in the U.S. we are already having difficulties keeping up with the rising pace of electricity consumption when almost nobody has an electric car. When many more own one it will make electricity prices rise to keep up with demand. Considering most of our electrical grid is powered by domestically produced sources of energy I am ok with that future rate increase, but it is something to keep in mind as more car companies offer more electric vehicles.
