Yes tremendously. Even if we just burn gasoline at power plants they are still much more efficient. When you start to add in renewables as a source of power for EVs the environmental impact is tremendous. Buy an EV for your next car if you can.
- nojvek 9y agoDefinitely thinking of an EV but they are for the rich folks atm. I'll wait for a sub 30k self driving Tesla.
- hwillis 9y agoThe average price for a new car is 34k nowadays. A used Model S is at least 40k[1]. Tesla has a pre-owned up for 50k. The cheapest new Model S, with all rebates + estimated gas savings, is 56k. If Tesla really pulls off the Model 3, it's a game changer. It'll start the clock ticking until everyone can afford a (used) electric car.

- smaddox 9y agoAverages can be misleading in highly skewed distributions...
- WorldMaker 9y agoThe 2017 Bolt is competitively priced: $37k MSRP. Still qualifies for ~$7k tax refund. Could potentially negotiate the price down a tad at a local dealership.
