these are all good points and i love your way of thinking but...the average electric car only has a 20kw battery pack and this will allow that car to go at least 100kms. now lets say that for every electric car sold, you also received a 2.5kw solar panel grid tie kit. that kit will on average make 15kws of power on a spring day.more in summer. the other 5kws could be obtained when the grid is making too much at night! ....just a thought. i try to look at small numbers...easier to work with =]
thats a very good question. but did you know that a car with a petrol/gas engine is only at best 30% efficient and most electric cars are at least 90%. it is easier to maintain one big tail pipe than millions of little ones on cars and on average an electric car uses 99% less energy to go the same distance as a gas powered car. i have an electric and they are great! if a gas car had the same amount of energy in its tank as i have in my batteries it would only go about 100yards and konk out!
$30,000 is NOT affordable. $20,000 is NOT affordable. Remember, the economy is well, in the tank, and that's not good. Also, many, many people are getting laid off, loosing their savings, etc. How are they expected to buy a new car, let alone "Green".
I don't believe anyone is being forced to buy anything but out of over 3,000,000 people, there will be some willing to fork out a little extra for a non-polluting car. Nothing to get upset about. What about all those folks with two Mercedes in their driveways? Do you get angry at them?
I'd pay $10,000 for one.
