Yep. The next few years will be very interesting, I think.


If cost of production goes down, and technology becomes more versatile, I'd definitely consider a plug in electric vehicle as a commuter vehicle. I'd probably pay up to about 20k right now for a little commuter type vehicle. It doesn't have to be as fancy as the Tesla Roadster, or as quick. Just comfortable, have a good range (150-200 miles) even with an air conditioner running, the ability to recharge on 110v wall sockets (if needed), and get probably 100k miles out of a battery pack that would be easily and economically replacable (read, not cost TOO much. I'd say $1k wouldn't be very bad).

I think we'll see things like that soon.

Oh, it's also great that Texas is getting the first two new nuke plants. More power to us!
