  • How PHEVs and EVs Will Sabotage America's Drive for Energy Independence [View article]
    This gets to the Achilles' Heel of the environmental debate, lack of math,science, economics, and financial education on the part of many so called "greens" who advocate complex government solutions.

    The best solution to imported oil is the free market because the single best signal of which technology is most efficient is the price. Clearly, the Prius would crush Volt and Leaf because it costs less. A family could buy 2 Prius for the cost of 1 Volt.

    Another thing to consider is gallons/100 miles. If one car gets 15 mpg, it uses 6.7 gallons to go 100 miles. If another car gets 30 mpg, it uses 3.3 gallons to go 100 miles.

    With expensive technology to lift a car from 30 to 100 mpg, the drives save 2.3 gallons of gas/100 miles.

    Using existing technology or CAFE standards to get the 15 mpg car up to 30 mpg, saves 3.4 gallons/100 miles.
