Now that we consume less per capita with the proliferation of smaller cars and better engines, the price must go up. People will pay a lot for mobility, whether it be to the electric company to charge up, battery makers, or good old fashioned Big Oil.

if anything, the .gov will raise the taxes due to less gallons being sold (they don't want to lose that revenue). The best thing to do as an individual is be off the grid or provide your own juice with solar or something. I like the idea of the electric cars with the range extending internal combustion engines best. The biggest hang up for me is the cost of buying solar and the fact that there is no way the batteries are going to even last a decade.

and on the Tesla model S- you are not bound by barometric pressure. if anything I bet the 1/4 mile time would be faster in Denver than it would be at sea level. I used to live at 7000ft elevation and driving down out of the mountains to get your hp back was always so much fun.
