Your car prices and insurance going way up and health insurance going way up due to illegals. Utilities going way up due to solar and wind subsidies.
Democrat party caused.

I was listening today to the John Kobylt radio show on KFI 640 in Los Angeles and he did a story on a couple who had to drive 600 miles up to Sacramento that was a family emergency so they took their electric Ford F-150
First they had to spend 20 minutes on the Ford app planning their route where the electric charging stations were. They also were going to have TWO 45 minute charges during the trio so nearly 2 extra hours vs a gas vehicle.

When they were down to under 40 mile range they pulled into a charging station that had 6 chargers. 2 were occupied and would take an hour before they could charge, the other 4 did not work. The owner called the company and was told that maintenance was scheduled. He found there was another charging station across the freeway but it was a slow charger.

They ended up going back to waiting at the first site and they figured they would not be able to get to their destination so they charged up enough to go 100 miles and they rented a hotel room to get some sleep and plugged in they truck for a few more hours.

BTW this was a writer at Car and Driver who John said was a big promoter of electric.
