Oil – Finite reserve
Oil – Harder to get
Oil – Harder to get• 30, 000 feet

Electrics have a long history
Anderson Electric 1907
Modern electrics started out slow
Hobbyists use existing parts
Electric has real potential1 gal gas = 8 kw electric1 gal gas = $.60 electricMany options to make it

Grid Impact
If charging is done off peak no new plants are neededIf charging is done at peak times 160 new power plants needed (17,000 in operation)
25% of miles powered electrically
Are electric vehicles 0 emissions?No
But even 100% electricity from coal is better.5-60% lower emissionsCoal is worst case
Nuclear, Hydro, Wind, Solar are clean
Electric powered automobiles, even using the most CO2 intensive coal produced electricity, produce half the emissions of gasoline powered automobiles.[25] US Dept. Of Energy
