While we are calculating the externalised costs, why not include the considerable health care impact of the exhaust gasses on the populace? I'd welcome the reduced personal costs, if electric vehicle adoption is much more:
* My immune system would work much better without having to deal with all the pollution so I wouldn't get sick as often.
* I would be able to commute work by bike if I wouldn't have to inhale that much smoke during such an intensely aerobic activity. I wouldn't need public transport that much either.
* I wouldn't have to consume fuel (or charge for that matter) when there is a jam.
* I would feel and think much better if I don't have blood full of CO. Less reason for costly vices that forces me to feel only slightly better.
If I have to put a figure, I estimate ~$150 monthly savings minimum for my current lifestyle which is nothing to sneeze at personally.
