Daughter paid $4.25 gal TODAY on the way here to visit.
There's places I have been overseas that have been paying $6-8.00 gal for years. Guess what? Oil will be here for many more years. Those that want electric cars are the ones that do not have to work for a living and can afford the crazy high price of a car that might burn up in a heart beat. Until they find a sub for lithium batteries, expect to have to replace them every so many years for near as much as a new car, and also be wary of how you handle them because they can catch fire. Gas fueled cars are not the only fire hazard. Nice to think about how quiet they are and how easy to charge them at home, but good luck going on a long trip by auto. How many hours for each charge are you going to be sitting on the side of the road? And how many cars are in line in front of you? And how much are they going to charge you to charge your EV? Things that make you say "hmmmm?"
I'll take cheap gas and fossil fuel powered cars any day. Worried about the air? The aid is cleaner today than it was when I was a kid in the city.
