    In six years they'll be 100 percent. At this point, we passed the cost curve inflection point, so fossil fuel vehicles are now more expensive than electrics.

  9. Re:Expect lots more in CA on New Registrations For Electric Vehicles Doubled In US Last Year (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Well, in BC WA OR CA there's an electric charge spot everywhere, plus most new housing is required to have solar on it. That plus our electric base cost around here is maybe 1/20th to fill up that gas is for the same distance. We'll all be 100 percent green electric in less than 10 years, plus electrics cost half to pay for maintenance what gas costs.
