With that said, I am scared with our future. Right now, yes, energy is cheap for an electric car. However, remember a big reason why gas is so $$$ is because of all the taxes added on. A true gallon of gas sans the taxes is I'm guessing around $1.75 - $2.25 a gallon.
I am very curious and nervous to see where and how the government will make up these lost revenues when more and more people go electric... :O

Great point. I know that several states including my NC are considering ways to get the lost gas tax revenues out of these hybrid and electric vehicles, maybe in the form of a mileage based fee.
