The Tesla costs 98.000$. The fuel cost is less then 2c/mile.
Based on the average fuel consumption of American cars, which is 27.5 miles per gallon, and the price per gallon, which is 2.23$/gallon, it costs 8.11c to drive an ordinary car 1 mile making the cost of the Tesla to less then 1/4th the fuel cost of ordinary cars.

Electric cars can't have a significant effect on the environment unless the electric power industry thats going to recharge the Tesla stops burning fossil fuel, and I see them moving away from that at a glacier like pace.

Oil agencies did no longer want electric powered vehicles genuine, yet to declare the killed this is a faux hood. First electric powered vehicles nonetheless use petroleum. What lubes the force axles and gears? Petroleum! next Democratic Senators and Representatives have inventory in oil additionally so how are you able to declare Republican oil agencies? My massive question is why are they pushing ethanol? It depletes the soil of food and demands greater ability than it makes to advance, delivery and technique. It surely provides to green dwelling house gasses however the Democrats seem to like it. A: united states of america has between the biggest organic gas deposits interior the worldwide. B: Animal waste produces organic gas that is burned to offer electric powered and surely reduces green dwelling house gases. C: rubbish decomposing produces organic gas that is burned to offer electric powered and decreases green dwelling house gases. Why are those strategies no longer being pushed over ethanol? funds! organic gas engines final longer than gas or diesel engines., because of the fact they burn air purifier. decide to look into something look into those info and as continually you will discover funds protects itself!

I feel that battery technology is the biggest hurdle for electric vehicles right now. They're big, heavy, expensive, and require a decent amount of maintenance.

Electric motors, speed controllers, and drive systems are great - fewer moving parts than gasoline engines and less maintenance, so its really the area of batteries that needs to see improvement before the electric vehicle industry can really take off.

It has already been "made", no one can stop that.

As for commercial production ... if I recall correctly just the batteries in the Tesla cost nearly $70,000 USD.

The Tesla design may die, but it will likely be replaced with better products and designs.

No $90,000 dollar car is a big problem for big oil. In fact, no electric car is a big problem for big oil since no electric car today or any electric car likely to be seen in the future is competative with conventional fueled vehicles.

The Tesla for example, costs $90,000 plus and cannot match the performance of a several $70,000 cars. At $3.50/gal, I can buy almost 6,000 gallons of gasoline with the difference. Thats enough to drive over 100,000 miles. I think I'll buy the Porsche, Z06, GT-R.
