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.
“Electric plants use fuel to make electricity.”
And more efficiently than gas engines.
My guess is it won’t be a linear progression. If we end up with significantly less gas automobiles the price of gas will fall to meet lower demand. That will strangely make gas cars a little more attractive again compared to electric cars. And with more stringent environmental rules, electricity could spike upwards as windmills just don’t do enough to bridge the new demand on electricity.
