Raise your hand if you're surprised.

[D Rider]

Totally unexpected. /s

[oldvirginian]

And just wait until road taxes are slapped onto that electricity price.

[Socon-Econ]

You have to add-in the cost of the extra time to re-charge.

[EEGator]

How many people live in apartments?
How many live in cities with street parking?
Going all EV is total BS.

“In fact Parker’s are understating just how expensive running costs are for EVs, because their figures for petrol/diesel include fuel duties, which account for nearly half of the cost. “

And there you have it. More gov’t subsidy for EVs.

[RWGinger]

This is in the UK
I bet it is similar here in USA

[ProtectOurFreedom]

What are “diesel-parkers”? People who have parked their diesel trucks for good because they can’t afford the fill-up?

[sphinx]

A big increase in gasoline and diesel fuel taxes will fix that.

[ConservativeInPA]

I think there are several companies coming out with electric semi-trucks. If it costs more to charge an EV than fill up with diesel, then just imagine the inflation that will occur when CA and commie states mandate electric semis.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Does anybody honestly think there is a magical solution that would lower the cost of transportation? The full life cycle, cradle to grave cost of any over-the-road system will be about the same. At least until “Mr. Fusion” is sold at Walmart.

I don’t see how ANYONE could possibly have foreseen this. LOL

[Tell It Right]

I'm with most FR'ers about hating the Dims forcing people to switch to EV's. I'd rather EV's be a free market thing. But let's please make our arguments with truth, not with lies like the Dims do.

If I were to use the EV supercharger nearest me in Alabama (which I don't for obvious reasons), the rate is 32¢/minute at the highest rate (opting to do no monthly subscription to get the lower rate). That'll get me 250 miles in 15 minutes: 15 X 32¢ = $4.80 to drive 250 miles.

I believe diesel costs $5/gallon near here, which is how much it costs to charge my EV to get 250 miles. How many miles will that one gallon of diesel get?

[Revolutionary]

Imagine living in an LA apartment and having to get up at 3am to wait for 3 hours in line to charge your car just enough to get to work and back that day. To charge any more would be selfish due to the long line behind you.

[Bubba_Leroy]

The liberals’ goal is not to force people to drive EVs. Their goal is to force people to move into high density apartments and ride mass transit. Then rich liberals can ride around in their expensive EVs and not have to sit in traffic.

[sport]

It should be.

[citizen]

"As we all know, sooner or later EV drivers will have to pay their share of fuel duties one way or another. Therefore it is fraudulent to ignore these costs in any comparison between EVs and proper cars."

LOL I had not heard ICE vehicles referred to as "proper cars." So...EVs are improper cars, yes, I agree. Very improper.

[ncfool]

I wish we had the conversion for EV usage in the United States. It’s going to get out of wack like UK.

[webheart]

I take my wife’s car to Costco and it takes 60 dollars to fill it. I take my care to the Electrify charger and it costs 17 dollars. I admit that I start at he at almost empty and fill it all the way, and my car start at 18% and only charges to 80%. That 60% is only 18 dollars so 100% would be 30 so I pay half as much for the number of miles.
