I don't see that in your list of costs.
What figure did you use for the electric car?
======================
Used the same $13000 for the electric and gas car to keep things about
equal... $500 for tires, $1200 a yr for insurance, $1000 a yr for
repairs, gas car had oil changes 3 times a yr, elec car had $2000 for
batts every 2.5 yrs.... used 30KW motor 1hr a day at $.10 and $.12 per
KWHr
Cost per mile for elec car was always cheaper.
