Very interesting!  I would save $1000 over 5 years if I switched to a plug-in hybrid instead of my 6 cyl petrol sedan, using my own home solar power (including 10kWh battery).  I would lose that $1000 to the loss of Feed In Tariff.  So break even, I guess.  I'll keep the "polluter" for performance, range, interior space and convenience.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
