The problem is the price of electric will be going up because the cost of natural gas is going up and most electric plants use natural gas to generate electricity. Now if we had some new nuclear plants being built to help reduce electric costs it might be a good alternative. The problem with trucks/SUV's is that they kept making them bigger and heavier. Compare the S10, Ford Bronco II, 4Runner, Pathfinder from back in the 80's to their equivalent today and there's no comparison. Put today's modern engines in the smaller vehicles from the 80's and there's a much better chance to see 30 mpg.
