Why is it that no one mentions how much it costs to charge these EV's on the go, away from home? Not sure if this is fact so I will caveat my next statement that this is third party word of mouth. A neighbor my wife spoke to said she traveled to another state in her EV to visit family lately and paid $48 to charge it up at one of the charging stations. She figured that it cost her the equivalent of $6.25 per gallon of gasoline. I have no idea what make and size EV she has so it's no use asking. I am just throwing this out there so someone with an EV can tell me how much they are paying on a trip and not using their home charger.
As for an answer to those suggesting that gas users are paying the Middle East for oil, it seems to me that not too long ago we were oil independent. Besides, what is the difference between paying a ME country and paying China?
I am not against EV's. I am against being FORCED or PUSHED into converting to EVs. They can coexist in this country just like the gas powered and battery powered golf carts do.
$7500 tax break is not going to help me or convince me to purchase an EV and I imagine that many low income workers feel the same. Right now, an EV is not a viable option for me.
