Advocates for electric vehicles have once again been hit with a rather inconvenient fact.
With gas prices surging, the Biden administration has been relentlessly urging Americans to switch to electric vehicles as an alternative, with the supposed added benefit of being able to stop climate change.
The idea behind this push seems to be that it is cheaper to charge an electric vehicle than it is to fuel a car in the current economy. Thus, Americans who use EVs can rest assured that they do not have to worry about the price of gas.
However, a new report is bringing all of that into question, suggesting that it may in fact be more expensive to charge an electric vehicle.

Still not a winnner — the money you “saved” got taxed out of you by the Sate, and given to the utility on behalf of “the poor” who can’t pay their bills.
Huh? You said people who use 290 kWh a month or other e would benefit from this change, yes? My point was even using almost no big appliances, we still use double that amount of power.

Yes, you’ll be ahead at the billing level.
But where’s that cost delta coming from?
Your utility didn’t suddenly experience a 50% reduction in operating expenses.
So if you and your neighbors are paying less via billing, who’s paying the utility the difference?
The state?
The Feds?
How much ya wanna bet it’s actually you, just via alternate channels?

Well considering the topic was CA, any discrepancies between revenue and cost is likely just coming out of the general fund. So yes, it's CA taxpayers / Fed (our) dollars.
But I'm a little confused - you were the one who initially said the save money point was those who used 290 kWh or more. My point was that almost everyone is likely using more than that in a month, as our usage with almost no big appliance running was nearly double that in a month.

Ask me that again without presuming I know the context.
Given the current context of the conversation and main topic, I would guess he means on your electric bill?
