I just read that if you charge a typical electric car at your home it costs equivalent to $0.70 per gallon. Not bad at all but with solar and battery improvements this could improve.

Most electric cars also have heavy engines in them as well (hybrid). This extra weight may be the reason typical electric cars only can go 40 miles before recharging or using the engine.

Brutha, good point about the limited lithium. Do you know of any companies that have some lock on lithium?
