Please let me know if I've missed anything.

At the moment. I dont think a vehicle with all these factors above can give you something under $50,000.

Gasoline vehicles are very problematic, we were lucky to have 100 years to perfect all its problems, and build addequit infrastructure for them. Electric vehicles dont have 100 years to evolve, so dont be expecting a smooth transition between gas to electric.

From what I already know, if we were dealing with Li-Ion batteries, there wouldnt be much of an environmental issue, its the lead acid batteries that require proper disposal. And im sure, there will be more and more solar and wind as well as hydro electricity power plants instead of coal plants in the near future. The reason for owning an electric is not only because of fuel costs, but also because of our increase production of carbon dioxide.

Planes would need a solution too......Planes are a huge producer of CO2.
