Out of all this conversation, I have not heard anyone mention how much their electric bill has gone up. A study in china, concluded that with coal operated power plants, the electric car was no better than the gas vehicle for being Green. I believe the majority of power in the US is produced by coal.

That is all well and good, but you probably have to drive like a 100yr old man with loose eggs on the floor, and what is that doing to traffic flow?
