You, today, buy gasoline miles. And we created electric miles.
現在大家買的是汽油里程。我們就創造電子里程。
And the price of electric miles ends up being a very interesting number.
電子里程價錢加起來是個有趣的數字。
Today 2010, in volume, when we come to market, it is eight cents a mile.
2010年的今日，大體來說，我們的市場價格是一英里8美分。
Those of you who have a hard time calculating what that means
如果你數學不好的，
in the average consumer environment we're in in the U.S. 20 miles per gallon that's a buck 50, a buck 60 a gallon.
美國目前平均汽油花費是一加侖20英里，1.5到1.6美金。
That's cheaper than today's gasoline, even in the U.S.
比油價便宜多了，連在美國也一樣。
In Europe where taxes are in place, that's the equivalent to a minus 60 dollar barrel. But e-miles follow Moore's Law.
歐洲因為稅法嚴格，計算起來等于一桶負60元美金。但電子里程根據的是摩爾定律。
They go from eight cents a mile in 2010, to four cents a mile in 2015, to two cents a mile by 2020.
2010年的一英里8美分，到2015年變成4美分，2020年只有2美分。
Why? Because batteries life cycle improve -- a bit of improvement on energy density, which reduces the price.
為什么？因為電池壽命增加--能源密集的技術進步，讓價格降低。
And these prices are actually with clean electrons. We do not use any electrons that come from coal.
這些價格都是干凈的電子。完全沒用到煤炭。
So in a sense this is an absolute zero-carbon, zero-fossil fuel electric mile at two cents a mile by 2020.
這樣看來，這是完全無碳、無化石燃料的，在2020年，電子里程一英里只要2分錢。
Now even if we get to 40 miles per gallon by 2020, which is our desire.
如果順利的話，2020年的石油若達到一加侖40英里。
Imagine only 40 miles per gallon cars would be on the road. That is an 80 cent gallon.
想象一加侖40英里在路上跑。一加侖等于80分。
An 80 cent gallon means, if the entire Pacific would convert to crude oil,
一加侖80分等于是整個太平洋都變成原油才能達成，
and we'd let any oil company bring it out and refine it, they still can't compete with two cents a mile.
然后讓石油公司獲取、提煉，還是無法與一英里2分錢比較。
That's a new economic factor, which is fascinating to most people.
這是個新的經濟因素，大部分人都感興趣。
