Let's see. $15,000 divided by 96 months is $156.25/month battery replacement cost. At $3.00/gallon gasoline thats $155.25/$3.00 or 52 gallons/month or 626 gallons/year equivalent gasoline value. At 25 mpg I can go 625 gallons X 25 mph or 15,625 miles on the gas I could buy for the money I'll spend on replacement batteries. Oh wait, I still have to pay for the electricity to charge the batteries! Doesn't quite pencil out yet. Don't get me wrong, for where I live having an electric car to drive the 2 miles to and from work would be great. I think I'll stick with my bike and hobby.
