That list is a lot of money. Just the cost of batteries will get you an engine, and it takes more than a basic 50 watt charger to do a 1C charge on them. I'll agree that electric is nice and convenient, but I have yet to find the break even point where the savings in fuel offset the greater startup cost. You gotta remember that the batteries don't last forever, so they are a consumable too.
