“At least electricity is free, so there’s that. 🤡”
Of course it’s free, and I know how they get it. First they find a Grove of Magic Gaia Trees. Then they capture every petroleum industry executive they can find, drag them to the Magic Grove, and sacrifice all of them according to ancient Aztec tradition. Then, LO!!, all of the Gaia trees sprout infinitely powered electric outlets that supply all of the electricity we’ll ever need for all of our EVs.
In Thomas Edison’s NJ, residential electricity costs about 18 cents per kilowatt hour. Production costs vary from 1 to 4 cents. So electricity is already the most heavily taxed energy option. Consumers lose their sh*t when gasoline goes up 10 cents, but electricity is intangible, and invisible, well, until God hands down the big zot.
