• - The Bennett study adds transmission and distribution costs even though those costs are actually being collected by the electric company (check your bill)
• - The Bennett study has three costs, including CAFE credits, that are "Costs to Buyers of Gasoline Vehicles," totaling $27,800. If these numbers are accurate then subtracting them from the price of the ICE and HEV models would mean the auto makers would give us the car for free with a $1,000 check sitting on the seat.

Again, there are nearly 150 pages to read and digest but something about the Truth seems a bit dishonest.

How derned fast can you *read*??!
