Well, a bunch of batteries that last 200,000+ miles. That's a lot of gasoline that wasn't burnt, so how do you figure? I'm not really into the hard numbers so if you know more than me, I'd like to hear more and read your references.

Granted electrical energy has to come from somewhere, but here in N. Calif. the energy that doesn't come from hydro or wind is from natural gas powerplants, and since I charge during off-peak hours, it doesn't compete with many other uses... so I'd like to see your calculations.
