<VV> Electric costs for electric cars?

[Charles Lee]

While the "electric car" commercials show the great gas mileage, has anyone
seen what their electric bill was for the same period, adjusted for increase
due to charging batteries ?

In SoCal, air conditioners can easily quadruple electric costs, (anywhere
from 8 to 33 cents per KwHr, whereas upstate NY may be 1/3 of that), so what
does having to feed an electric car add to that cost?

Just curious, since they seem to ignore it in their commercials.

Charlie

 Another hate piece by the anti car Nazis. Not to worry. The Corvair was
unique. The Volt is the first of what is going to be a whole herd of
extended range electric cars. There's already a Prius flavor due out any
time now. And with the invention of reliable lithium-ion batteries, which
are only getting better all the time, these are technically quite practical,
and soon will also be economically practical. 
This is THE first serious attempt to power a car, even partially, by
something other than a petroleum distillate and/or product.
