After having a $2600 electric bill for 4 months last year, I am not sure that an electric car would actually cost me less to run. Like NuckingFutz said also, whether it's really better for the ecology either. I think the solar power is my best thought however. Electricity from geothermal can be developed also....but is based on location. Wind power is also an addition, but can't produce the amount of electricity we need.

My Brother-in-law is a director for one of the California city power plants..one of his college projects was a solar power car. My husband worked for awhile for the California company that built the wind turbins....learned quite a bit about our power industry from that. Also learned how much we really aren't told & don't know....just taking for granted.

There are many options...not all good,
