[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 995576, member: 322"] When are we going to get a new baseball head coach? Every form of mining is nasty for the people involved and environment. I think batteries are going to greatly evolve and use more obtainable materials. Anyway, I'm selling my Ford Fusion Energi (Plug in hybrid) since I only need two cars and don't have the space for a third car. (My wife keeps her Murano and my dog keeps her Tacoma.) I figured out originally that for my case with electric costs that the break even was about $3.00/gallon gas. But that was with the $7K EV rebate I got. I also didn't take into account resale value since I planned to buy and hold. Two things I didn't consider which change the calculation with resale are 1) battery droop in that the battery after 4 years is holding less of a full charge and 2) I expect electric cars to become less expensive as more supply comes on the market. Hertz is dumping 20,000 Teslas (not hybrid but full EV) since they are more expensive to repair and not as in demand as they thought. China is the leading world producer of EVs and while our 27.6% trade barrier tax keeps them out, they are available in the rest of the world to provide somewhat fungible supply. So if my car is sold, I'll wait to buy a full EV when prices have dropped and there is a much better charging grid. Till then, I'd only go hybrid. (Not a pronoun!) [/QUOTE]
