The higher fuel prices are working their wsay through to the cost of electricity.

The idea that “high fuel prices will drive people to electric cars” is foolish. Electric plants use fuel to make electricity.

I don’t remember the Biden Administration saying it was going to be cheaper, just that we wouldn’t have to pay the high gas prices any longer

why the big push for evs?

when most of the evs are powered by electricity generated by conventional fuels?

they want the gas powered cars banned before they “transition” electricity to green energy when electricity prices will skyrocket

It takes $175 to fill my 2500Hd Silverado and about $100 to fill my CTS-V Caddy, but I can fully recharge the fuel cell in about 5 minutes and then go 300 miles plus before needing to recharge.

Electric vehicle will causing nothing but chaos...An epic boondoggle. But the will keep you on a short leash...

In 20 years, it will take 7 hours of waiting in massive lines to charge your electric appliance at Costco..At Costco it’s bad now with gas vehicles and only takes them a couple minutes to fill up.

While my 2008 Hummer H3 does cost over $100 to fill the tank, it gets 250-275 miles for that fill-up. I’d love to have an electric version but 100 miles for over $100 is simply not practical. 100 miles! Many places I go are over 100 miles on pavement BEFORE I get to the off-road driving.

Anyone who can afford an electric Hummer isn’t going o worry about the cost of a charge or tank of gas.

To them, the single biggest factor beyond virtue signaling is time.

How long to charge versus how long to fill the tank?

The recharge will take far longer.

far more than it would cost to fill up the gas tank of a large gas-powered truck of similar quality
= = =

20 gallons (small for a large SUV) at $5 (low in many places) = $100

Article fails.

Why electricity doesn’t cost anything.
You just go to a free charging station .
You must be racist; or something?

Right? Isn’t that how they respond?

“The current rate at the station was $0.43 per kilowatt-hour”

At my house I pay about $0.12 per kilowatt-hour. Seems like EV charging station rates have always been a lot higher than what it would cost to charge at home.

And at 43 cents per kwh, it’d be cheaper to run just about any plug-in hybrid on gas!

But they are saving the planet. Just like the couple that drove with pride in a Yugo, in a Yugo.

“The current rate at the station was $0.43 per kilowatt-hour (kWh). Bringing the Hummer EV to 90 percent charge cost the publication $81, including sales tax.”

Charging at my house at night rates would be less than $20.

Less than 1% of autos and light trucks on the road in America are electric.

And autos and light trucks are the easy part.
