Let's say that your car gets 30mpg at a 60 mph and it must produce 15 hp. 15 hp is less than 12Kw. To go thirty miles takes 1/2 hour, so that's 6KWH to replace a gallon of fuel. You can buy that gallon of gasoline for about $3 today. 6KWH costs about $.72.

that's .72 now, just think if everybody started using the grid, they'd have to charge more.
and more for building new powerplants
And even more when the oil company's buy out the power company's...
