It has been true for years: Mile for mile, it’s cheaper — generally much cheaper — to recharge an electric vehicle than it is to refuel one with an internal-combustion engine.

Sure, but that ignores other factors like refuel time, availability of fuel (not just stations, but what if you run out in the middle of the highway?), and the big one - initial cost. What's the price of a base Tesla vs a medium-level Camry? Double? Triple? How long does it take to save that much $$ in fuel?

The reason gas car costs more than electricity is because of the spike in gas prices.

Which is why they are making prices spike on purpose. Makes their pie-in-the-sky climate malarkey seem more reasonable.

Electric vehicles should be marketed for what they really are: greased lightning on wheels. Damn the climate scam! Unleash the free market to make electricity the most economically viable way, be that antimatter, coal, fission, fusion, geothermal, hydroelectric, natural gas, oil, solar, tidal, or wind.
