Hi!
If you are going to feel bad for them, I assume you are not interested in buying an electric car at any time in the future.
Too bad for you, as an electric car will cost WAY less to run than an ICE car.
And, when the car is plugged in to the "Smart Grid", the electric company will pull power out of your battery at peak grid load times, and pay you a massive premium for the power they need. Then, it will charge your car at less than peak times and charge you very little for the power (that's why it is called a "Smart Grid").
PLUS, if you have your car plugged in at home, and there is a power failure, you can use the battery as a generator to power your house in an emergency.

Lets see in my town the more power you use each month the higher each KwH becomes, and on top of that what kind of carbon footprint they make with all those black smoke spitting machines in the mines to get the minerals to manufacture the batteries, these cars are a joke meant to sucker the tree hugging public, and pay 40,000 for one too, its sad that people can be so nieve...Im really not attacking you but you need to wake up to reality, or in 5 years your going to be stuck with a 40K generator for your Christmas lights
