Re: “I remember once reading an article that showed how much money it would cost to recharge one of these Electric overpriced cars by plugging them into your house electric. The results I read was that it was more money than filling your gas tank up with regular unleaded gas...” What I remember is that getting an 80% "quick charge" at a professional lot was pricier per mile than a comparable car using gas. The implication is that charging at home would be LESS expensive. I don't know how much less. But it will take the owner 12 hours or so. And if he wants to have his house set up for quick charge, he may need to fork out $200,000 or more.

To this, it needs to be remembered that the car battery likely needs replacement at the 80,000 mile mark. I'm finding replacement batteries from $3,000 to $20,000. The cheapest batteries are for the low-end hybrids. Tesla batteries are $12,000 to $15,000.

In my foggy brain I keep thinking I remember once reading an article that showed how much money it would cost to recharge one of these Electric overpriced cars by plugging them into your house electric. The results I read was that it was more money than filling your gas tank up with regular unleaded gas...

Does anyone else know anything about that or remember better than fogged up brain. That doggone anesthesia did a number on me this last time. Its slowly coming back but I am really have some memory issues from this.

The other thing I was giving thought to was a plain old HYBRID powered vehicle which uses an electric motor to assist and actually some of the hybrid cars get very excellent fuel economy..

I'm kinda thinking about getting one because it would realy raise the MPG we get on our Tuscon SUV which is a really nice compact SUV. I bought it for Miz micro across the state at a dealership there that took it in trade from an elderly couple like Ribit who simply did not drive much. It had 11,000 miles on it and it was 3 years old..

But I am interested in a hybrid for the gas mileage..

Just wondered if any of y'all had any experience with one or knows anything about them.

My daughter had a Prius 5 that was really nice. She kept it for years and then decided she would buy an Audi.

I guess she makes plenty so why not. Happy for her and her career. When I am gone my kids will be well off.


Thanks in advance!
