Lets see 1.43 a mile I drive 48 miles to and from work, so it will cost me $68 dollars a day to commute in my Leaf and it cost me $10.00 in gas in my Truck
I guess the Oil company's win again as usual.

If everyone who could afford an Electric car along with a home 5kw Solar system took responsibility into there own hands , then the demand for oil would be cut enough to stabilize gas prices which would benefit the people who are barley getting by day to day with lower gas prices at the pump, most homes have 2 cars anyways, Electric one would be for all the required city commuting and a second Ice Car for any long range weekend trips.
of coarse this will not work for everybody. also keep in mind when the first cell phone came out in the early 80's no one could afford it cost $4000 and now a days even the poor are using them.
