being electric has nothing to do with it.
It has everything to do with it. you haven't yet noticed all of this is on purpose?

We're living in a god damned black mirror episode.

Factor in maintenance of an electrical vehicle. Should be higher no?
This is the dumbest thing I have ever read.

First off, probably less than 5% of US households have 4 vehicles.
Now do suburban households.
IDGAF about city “households”. My world is suburbia.
Why do you want to shove urbanism down my throat?

What would be a valid reason to ever use something that has zero relevance to make this comparison or arrive at this opinion?
Are you insinuating that consumers somehow wouldn’t have to pay for the grid upgrades? Because they would. Even the ones that don’t convert to an EV.

I was thinking about getting an EV a while back and ran the numbers on energy v gas costs based on my driving habits. I don’t remember the exact specifics, but it got me to saving ~$800/year in cost between fuel consumption and energy increase. Didn’t seem worth it when you consider the EV was $10-15k more expensive.

Do you understand the difference between power and energy, and how this difference relates to charging EVs?

So, not only are EV owners no longer chipping in on road upkeep via gas tax
Here in Ark. EVers have to pay a $200 a year "fee" for owning a gasless vehicle. Fair enough. If they are going to be driving on the same road that I am then they should help pay for that road also.

That's cheap. Isn't gas tax like 18 cents a gallon?

quote:Maybe the fed tax and arkansas adds another 22 cents I think. The average driver burns maybe 500-1000 gallons per year, so $200 for an EV is about right I guess.

Ive been doing recon and there are multiple free chargers in places I visit regularly, should have minimal home charging.
My buddy's company has chargers for employees to use while they're at work.
