Comments on: Have Your Saturn Converted to an All-Electric Car http://gas2.org/2008/08/14/have-your-saturn-converted-to-an-all-electric-car/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

And probably at a far greater rate than electricity prices increase? You can't look at a 10 year ownership timeframe without considering that gas could very well be $10/gallon in that time.

At first I was going to delete Mr. "Bradshaw's" comment because I know who he is and that he gets paid by Big Oil lobbying groups to paint electric cars as the second coming of the apocalypse. He's spouted complete BS propaganda doubt-generating crapola on other posts of mine. But then I thought that a little education of you, our excellent readership, and an expose of KBs tactics would be just the ticket. So, without further adieu, read the following link to find out who kerry Bradshaw really is... and pass the info on. http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/off-topic/672-ken-kent-kerry-beauchrt-beuchert-beuchrt-biker-rider-krider.html Kerry,

Everyone else on the planet knows that the batteries in this car won't last for more than 5 years, or a thousand or so recharges. They will cost at least $15,000 to replace, which makes your calculations incredibly dumb and inaccurate. And those "maintenance costs" you claim are mostly phoney baloney - tune ups come at 100,000 miels and cost about $12 for spark plugs. Tranny fluid changes? Are you kidding? Figure $20 for 100,000 miles. And do you really believe that you can go where you want in this vehcile, whoch has a realistic driving radius (after a few years) of less than 60 miles? Get real, felllow. Battery-only electrics are oxymorons for gullible yokels who don't know any better. They can't avoid as much gasoline of emissions as a Chevy Volt, since all those trips that can't be made using this car will be made using a gas powered vehicle that will consume tons more gasoline and emit lots more carbon thn the 40 miles electric range/50 MPG liquid fuel mileage abilities of the Volt.

Figuring 15K miles/year that’s about 7 years so this calculation /comparison must include at least two replacement battery packs – that would substantially alter the equation, don’t you think?
