Here's how much electricity prices have surged in parts of New England this winter: For some drivers of electric vehicles and hybrid cars, it's now more expensive to charge up than to fill up.
quote:
Power rates across the region have jumped an average of 30% since last summer, while gasoline prices have receded well below their peak in June of 2022. Web engineer Matt Cain, who lives in Amherst, Massachusetts, said he ran a price comparison when his electricity bill shot up in January and found that his overall costs for utilities had climbed a whopping 50%.

"We have a Prius Prime that we normally drive around town, and we drive most of it on electricity. It's now 50% more expensive than fueling it with gas," he told CBS MoneyWatch.

I bet the first car was also more expensive to run than a horse.

Correct
This seems like something that is temporary and regional

You could just ask someone who isn't retarded to figure that out

What if it’s only marginally cheaper though? Does it still make financial sense?

Bring back horses.

Depends on your use case, just like everything else in life.

The cost savings isnt worth the hassle of not being able to drive somewhere without stopping a couple times for 30 minutes to recharge
And our grid is mostly based on fossil fuel power plants plus the toxic shite in the batteries so the saving the planet argument is dumb
get back to me when our grid is 90% nuclear and we are better at recycling batteries

And most commutes and driving is not currently done for hours at a time requiring multiple stoppages for recharging. You can't look at savings and efficiency for the masses if all you want to consider are the extremes
