You really need a higher no cost goal to go electric since the car and conversion will cost ~15k. After a decade of continuous gas saving you'll need to use that savings for battery replacement. Until component costs come down and better battery technology comes available, you will be a pioneer an part of a movement and statement against oil consumption. More demand will eventually increase manufacturing and lower these costs. I applaud all those who took the first steps and invested in this movement... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)
