Don'tGiveU
I am conducting a little poll to see how many people would use an electric car if it were efficient to charge (multiple charging stations, long range, and low cost).
In other words, would you drive a car that you could pay $0.75 (per 40 miles) to fill up vs. $4.00 (per 40 miles).
Just say YES if you would. Or if you wouldn't please state why.
Answer
Electric cars are a non-starter in the USA. People are too wigged out about the battery-range thing. Wait until plug-in hybrids are common, and people go a whole year without ever using the onboard gas engine, and they start going "hey wait, why did I pay $5000 extra for the gas engine?" And people will figure out that electrics CAN work.

What is the cost to run an electric car?

Doesn't most electricity come from generators that are powered by oil or even coal. If the price of oil goes up, won't the price of electricity follow? What is the cost per mile for an electric car?
Answer
Right now electricity is generated by nuclear , hydro , coal ,
oil , solar , thermal , and wind power. The USA uses more nuclear powered electric than any country in the world incuding France. Nuclear creates about 20 % of our electric power. Before clean coal electricity plants , most diesel electricity generation was created switching from coal to oil to reduce emissions. The cost per mile for an electric car is 8 cents a mile. The problem is the car will only run about 40 miles and it takes a long time to charge the battery. A better solution is to create hydrogen using electric power. Then fuel cells powered by hydrogen can run electric motor cars at speeds up to 90 miles an hour over 270 miles per fill up. see n1r.us for details. Right now if the cost of oil goes up , diesel generated electricity will become more expensive.
