  1. Kilowatt to Kilowatt, an EV is no more efficient than a combustion engine. Aside from oil in changes, the big difference in the running costs is that the government is not taxing electricity at ~25% as they do gas or (sometimes more) diesel fuel. Historically politicians have hesitated taxing they way people heat their homes. When gas tax revenues fade with the rise of EV's -- how long do you think that this will continue? When some claim that EVs are "emissions free", this is false. All that you are doing is transferring your emissions to your local power utility. Unless they are nuke, they are emitting emissions. Wind and solar are not widespread enough to count for much. Still a nice car though.
