In a few cases (depending on who the power to your house comes from) electric can be less desirable than gas. If they're using fossil fuels to generate the power that you plug the car into every night, you might actually be wasting more energy than you would if you just put those fossil fuels right into the car in the first place. Figured I'd mention it since they didn't.
I also like the idea of E85. As with anything, early on, the price starts out higher, until the infrastructure gets established. It's kinda like calculators being a "dime a dozen" now or computers coming down in price. Man, we gotta get away from oil!
Unless the car/truck has a flexfuel engine,I don't think it will work as the flexfuel engines have different fuel systems.I have a 2000 S10 with a flexfuel engine,but around here there is no E85.
There's one thing not mentioned above. Most hybrids that are produced today do not pug in. They create thier own electricity but the turning wheels. That is a very good option and I really can't think of any cons. It has close to the same power as the average car, there is no recharge time, and it's range is the same as gasoline vehicles.
I chose the e85, because I opened my gas tank the other day when gas shot up to over $3 a gallon and I saw for the first time that my vehicle is equiped to run on it, but there are no stations that have E85 within 200 miles of me.
