Let's not forget the idea of driving a 'lecy car in the first place is A) cheaper fuel costs by buying electricity instead of gas, and B) Being "Green".
Of course, "being Green" is a flat-out FAIL due to the fact using electricity is merely carbon-displacement, since the coal-burning 'lecy factories dump a fair amount of CO2 getting that power to your wall plug.
Once they convert to a more CO2-friendly means of 'lecy generating (nuclear, wind [sic], or ocean-tidal), electric cars will merely be a marginal benefit over gas-powered 50+mpg diesel burners.
