I think that what they're saying is that $170k for an electric car vs. 50k for it's (very) low emissions gasoline equivalent which gets ~30 mpg is stupid. Meaning, if depreciation is not a factor, you'll break even after driving the equivalent mileage needed to consume ~$120k worth of gasoline. Actually, more, because of course electricity costs something. That's ~30,000 gallons of gasoline, or 900,000 miles. Rounding sure, but again, I didn't account for electricity costs.
Either my math is WAY off (very possible) ... or it's just plain stupid.
