The alternative to pure electric isn't pure gas, it's hybrid electric vehicles. You can't beat the worst alternative to win, you've got to beat the best alternative. That alone makes me not trust the rest of the study.

It also overlooks the fact that the price of fuel is only the second most important factor in determining electric car adoption, with the most important being electric car technology. Electric cars are getting better rapidly, and I'll probably get one eventually (preferably with a fuel-burning backup motor like a Chevy Volt) but I'm waiting for the technology to get better and cheaper, not for the price of fuel to reach some magic number.
