A comment on Tesla Surges Above $500, Leaving Analyst Targets in the Dust. Parent comment
In Germany, 1 kWh costs over 30 cents. As far as I know, that's one of the highest rates in "Western" countries.
If electric cars make sense in Germany, then they can succeed pretty much anywhere.
Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_pricing#Global_com... lists Germany price/kWh at 0.35 USD, making it indeed the most expensive Western country at least by quick eyeballing.
