Only $1.14 a gallon to fuel an electric car, DOE reports

Bummer it is only by state and not by zip code. In my area, if I went 5 miles west of where we live, electricity drops by .05 per kWh.

That is PECO versus PP&L (roughly Philly .16 vs. Lancaster .11) However, incomes and wealth is higher in the Philly area. Another interesting thing is that the larger solar arrays in the state are in the cheaper PP&L region and not PECO due to the land availability.

We are on the edge of suburban sprawl. Many people drive 40+ miles to work. Once the 120 mile EVs are on the market, things will pick up incrementally. Volts are still somewhat rare around here.

I think they're waiting on price along with value. Many uneducated consumers still believe the Volt is a 40-mile BEV. Many Chevy dealers would rather sell a Sonic or Cruze than a Volt for someone wanting to cut their gasoline costs. Wife and I went to a Chevy shop when CUV lease-shopping a few weeks ago and the sales guy had nothing good to say about the Volt (2 on the lot). We kept it quiet that I owned one. We leased a Honda CR-V.
