I won't be able to afford one for awhile, but I've been looking into them and curious to know how other owners find the ownership and driving experience here in the Triangle and especially Raleigh ITB. I've seen more and more electric car charging stations popping up, but haven't seen a lot of the cars.

I'd like to know where you got your electric car, how long you've been driving one, how convenient you find the process of charging, have there been any extra costs incurred (outside of the car purchase) since having one or any costs saved since having one (especially in gas - anyone made a comparison chart of the savings?), and any other positives/negatives that you'd like to share.

Thanks in advance!

I'll come back later and post more. We've had a Chevy Volt since the end of February. Got it in NJ. We love it.

Only extra is a wee bit on electric. Our first month was about 14 bucks more than the bill from the previous year (same month). I'm sure it'll be more. I've read 1.50 average per night as a statistic.

Gas is dirt cheap.

We use about 3 gallons a month so far.
