Electricity is something that seems to continuously rise and never go down. If e-cars catch on, that is going to drive electricity prices even higher. Now the money you save (which will be less) driving the electric car will be spent on your home/farm electric bill. Decreased demand for oil will drive fuel prices down. Now your electric car becomes the same or more expensive as a fuel burner. Plus, eventually you are going to be charged a milage tax so you pay for your fair share of road maintenance. That tax will likely be around 2 cents per mile to be equal to what a gas burner pays in gas tax. That puts you within less than a penny per mile difference than gas.
