Buffett's Battery Buy

Except I don't travel 200 miles in a week. My daily commute is 10 miles each way, and I am lucky enough to have all the shopping I need to do across the street from either work or home, so I almost never need to do additional driving.

In addition, I'm in an area with timed metering for hydro, so in the evening I am only paying 2.6 cents per KWH, so to charge for the day, assuming 1KWH = 1 Mile, would be 26 cents per day. Now, with gas where it is I am paying about $55 for a tank, which lasts me about three weeks, so in my circumstance there would be tremendous savings, depending on the cost premium of the vehicle.

But I agree with you that anyone really putting on the miles probably won't find these practical in the short term.
