[QUOTE="jzweedyk, post: 1785100, member: 28195"] What will stop the electric change over in vehicles is when he grid fails because of overload. Already in CA you can't charge your vehicle between 5 PM and 9 PM. They are forecasting brown outs this summer and electric vehicles account for maybe 6% of vehicles in CA. Wait until it reaches 50% Your own solar charging station is a nice idea for those of us that have a lot of sun, but what about the cost? First buy a $ 60K vehicle, then a $ 10k charging station, and then 10 years later throw that vehicle away because the batteries are shot. I wish someone would do a "lifetime" energy study on the ICE and electric vehicles from raw materials (including the mining of the ore) to death. My gut tells me the ICE vehicles consume less energy and produce less pollution over their life than the electric vehicles. [/QUOTE]
