Where do they get the $5.00/charge figure? It would seem to me that your couldn't charge a car with less energy than it is going to expend. Everything I have read on electric indicates that we will burn more fossil fuel and create more emissions to generate the electric for the car than the car would consume and subsequently emit into the environment. If we could convert to nuclear energy across the board, this would have more promise. (I'm in the NIMBY camp here, but otherwise for nuclear.
). I think we can go a lot further with fuel efficiency and further development of the Hybrid. Besides, who wants a silent GT40?
