In truth, electric cars can pencil-out well for around town commuters/grocery-getters in a warm place like L.A. There is free charging all over the place now, which is a perk not so much for the cost of the electricity as the range extending benefit of recharging the car several times a day. I spoke to a photographer with a Volt not long ago and he told me that he charges it only at night at home and it always lasts him all day and costs ~$13.00 a month in electricity. He had done the metering.

Contrast that to the cost of fuel in CA. and the 100 miles a day that many people drive and that lease starts getting cheaper and cheaper. And that's not to even mention the stray action you might get. GD, need to get to the Beemer dealer.
