It is about control, not results. This applies to most government policies.

Electricity is delivered in kilowatts, not gallons.
The article talks about low upfront costs for EV.
Then there is some allusion to a kind of cost accounting?
I believe the stated premise to be factual. But it is phrased so clumsily; it could be said better, I think.

Following this. Many (in government, and in the EV industry) dispute these numbers.

“Federal policy is also pushing EVs over hybrid vehicles”

Cui bono?

Where will the Dodge Ram EV fit into this since it comes with a 6-cylinder engine to recharge the batteries?

And I thought 4.25/gal for non ethanol is a rip off. Well it is, but relatively speaking...

The biden/obama ways to deal with global warming are all worthless! Back to the drawing board, at places like MIT!

I drove my first hybrid a couple months ago — a Toyota Sienna we rented from Budget. 36MPG for a minivan.

“Fueling electric vehicles costs roughly $17 per gallon: Study...”

Probably cheaper than what Californians will soon be paying for gas.

Interesting.

I had guesstimated $12/gal equivalent.

People - idiots - like John Kerry, Bill Gates and Al Gore don’t care about $17 per ‘gallon’ equivalence ... In their world that’s chump change...

Please stop posting proven incorrect media.

Educate yourself. If you don’t know basic math and cost per kWh, then here’s a calculator.

https://www.inchcalculator.com/electric-vehicle-charging-cost-calculator/

type in 82 kwh for the battery. My cost in Texas is 9 cents a KWH.
It will show you that the cost to recharge at my house is $7.38

A Tesla Model 3 has an 82 kWh battery and a range of 333 miles
So that is is 2.2 Cents a mile in energy cost.
On the other had, consider if I drive my 2017 Ford Mustang GT 5.0.
I get 18 MPG (it’s a standard) - I just filled up yesterday for $45.32, and my car said 310 mile range. So that’s 14 cents a mile in energy costs.

It cost me roughy 7x if I drive the mustang per mile in energy costs.
Also my oil changes are ~110$ every 5,000 miles.

If you don’t educate yourself, you will fall victim to being led around by the nose.

My theory is some big Dem cronies know that EV’s are junk, and they’re stuffing their pockets.

Even though I mostly think hybrids are lame, they are far superior to EV’s.
