The value add for an individual is minimal to nonexistent in electric vs gas. Not so with a horse vs a car. This guy is delusional if this isn't just hype (it is) and thinks the comparisons are comparable.

Meanwhile gas starts at $8.34 per gallon where I live, while I can charge my car for $0.42 per kWh.

This comparison tells me nothing. Do you have numbers for $ per mile driven?
