Using electricity to power an automotive vehicle would cost the equivalent of paying less than $2.00 per gallon of gasoline at current electric prices. In some states, the cost would be under $1.00 per gallon.
A typical mid-size sedan, when running on electricity from the current U.S. grid, would have the same carbon footprint as a car that gets 50 miles per gallon (mpg) of gasoline. As more electricity comes from renewable sources, net carbon emissions would be reduced further.
Plug-in electric vehicles could be on the market very soon.
