It will cost about 50 cents (USD) to fully recharge the IT battery pack! Based on January 2001 averages, the retail price of residential electricity sold by Electric Utilities in the United States was 7.73 cents per kilowatt-hour. The IT vehicle takes approximately 6 kilowatt-hours to fully recharge the battery pack!
50 Cents to fully charge the battery IF you are not producing Solar Power and IF you have paid off your Solar Panels with Solar POWER (pay off day is past), then, the COST of transportation fuel is ZERO.
Think TAXI with 100 cars on Solar/Wind energy from a small energy farm - eh hoser?
Under ideal driving conditions you can expect up to a 30 mile (50 KM) driving range from a fully charged, optimally conditioned battery pack.

What happens if your home uses the new 1 dollar per watt Solar Panels and you have an electric car while everyone else is blacked out (or browned out) waiting in line at the gas station?
Give your neighbor a ride to the gas station?
