Looking for premiums like that, they must be inhaling battery pack fumes.
At many local electric rates a plug-in doesn't even make sense vs. $
gasoline.
If I lived where cabin A/C is seldom necessary and
If I had a daily 15 mile round trip commute and
If I could could charge this through my off-peak meter and
If the price was dropped $000.00
this would make perfect sense at my present rate BUT
all of my electricity is generated by coal.

Proving once again that there is no free lunch.
