True. But the pro-electric crowd is touting "electric for everything" - so is guilty of the same error. I very much do NOT live in a city - but I can't think of anyone I know personally that would be able to only have electric cars and not also have to noticeable change their lifestyle. However, many could benefit from including an electric. But that means multiple cars. Believe it or not, not everyone has a yard full of cars. *grin* And from what I can tell, a well used electric is not a bargain as it is ripe for an expensive battery replacement. A 10-15 year old liquid fuel car is much cheaper than new and still can have a lot of life left. I don't see that economic model working for electrics... _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
