Some of the recent posts have come around to my point ...
Right now, it costs me about $28 (and five minutes) to fill my tank, and that tank will carry me 300 miles.
I simply cannot make an informed decision as to electric cars untill someone can tell me that I can expect 'filling' an electric car will cost me $x, take "y" minutes, and carry me "z" miles.
Likewise, we have seen 'ordinary' cars often exceed 200,000 miles before needing major work. Can anyone tell me how many miles I can expect before an electric car needs major maintenance?
At this point, I'd even settle for some data derived from places like Scottsdale, Az., that allow the use of 'golf carts' on the streets. Are electric golf carts able to perform acceptably, even in those restricted areas? Or, for that matter, what's the golf course experience as to charging time, run time, and expense?

straight answers on such a politicized issue
