Federalist papers? Hmmm. I will read this report, when I get an hour to waste.
I have an EV, and the cost of my car’s purchase price was similar to its fossil fuel sibling, thanks to tax incentives and manufacturer incentives.
The cost to charge it is a fraction of the cost fill it’s sibling with gasoline. Electricity in my area is around $0.15 per kW, when I’m plugged at home. Even when I’m on the road. It runs about $20 per fill up, as opposed to more than $55 for gas.
Power in my area is nearly 100% hydro-wind.
There are challenges, like how long it takes to charge while on the road, and on a day such this one, when it’s 25F, and tte car needs a couple of minutes to get ready, but infrastructure is getting better and for driving within 100 miles from home, charging is similar to filling up with gas.
We need more charging stations, that’s for sure, but we’re not going to there without a total commitment, and the latter is long overdue.
