That so called Tax Incentive isn't such a bargain as far as Im concerned!
It has about as much real value as the Old Convert Your Car to run on Cheap Propane did! When Propane was 39 cents a gallon and Regular Gas was $ 1.50 it sure seemed like a great idea. Then once the numbers of Propane powered Vehicles hit an acceptable level ,they imposed a Road Tax and Propane was suddenly as much as gas!
In BC which has abundant Hydro Electric Power Plants they have advised every customer that the Electricity will cost 28 % More in a couple of Years! Ha that's more than likely going to be 100% more and there will most certainly be Road Taxes added to those that have Plug In Cars!
Anything's possible when trying to predict future energy prices, I'll give you that, but it's a fair bet they aren't going down. Right now my electric car costs me the equivalent of 41 cents per litre. Remember those days? They aren't coming back.
If it's a choice between i) expensive gas today that is going to continue to get more expensive, and ii) electricity that costs 3 tenths as much as gas and *may* go up significantly, I'll take my chances with electricity thank you very much.
