I put an average of 1500 miles a week on my car, Mostly down 2 lane county roads. I drive a 2008 Ford Taurus Station wagon that gets 26 miles a gallon. It has 350,000 miles on it and runs perfect. It costs me 21 cents a mile to drive at this point, that includes, cost of car, gas, oil changes(Castrol Centec), insurance and all maintenance. I write off about $40,000.00 a year against my taxes. I don’t see anyway there will be an electric car that can beat these stats until after I die and I am 58 years old.
I don’t know what the future holds so for now, I’m not sure that I disagree with you.
The good thing about electric cars is that if their growth rate continues—in a couple years they’ll start to put pressure on the cost of oil/gasoline because they’ll lower demand for oil.
