How does that $5k savings number work out? If electricity were free, that'd be an implied gas price of $6/gal for the entire time (for a 35 mpg car). Anywhere with gas prices that high (e.g., California) probably has high electric prices to match (e.g., 30c/kWh in CA would imply $8.50 per gallon at a conservative 4mi/kWh).
