I live on the San Francisco peninsula and it's hard to get away from the high gasoline prices. Gas can be $3.50 (which is a bargain) for regular gasoline inland and we are still paying at or above $4.00 per gallon.
Last week there was a fire across the bay at the Chevron refinery, and gas jumped $.05 by the following morning....

There's nothing "eco-friendly" about electric vehicles... from the manufacturing, charging, and recycling of those vehicles.

And the premium you pay for the "privilege" of owning one? You'd have to drive 100,000 miles (at least) before you'd break even on your investment.

At the present time, electric/hybrid vehicles are simply a fad, and nothing more.
