Craig, I think you are largely correct in your criticism of David Rolf’s contention that only the market should drive the use of electric cars.  But it goes beyond the use of oil to one of maintenance.  Gas powered vehicles need to be serviced more often and there are more things that can go wrong with them.  Electric cars require far less maintenance and just keep going.   Seems the more expensive a gas powered car is the more maintenance you will pay.  No thanks, electric cars are the way to go.
