I am seeing a lot of negative articles on EV’s lately. They are using the slowdown in EV sales as a result of people abandoning EV’s. Yet I believe the slowdown is from high interest rates, inflation on everything, and people don’t have as much money right now because of inflation.
I just seen an article saying the true cost of running an EV is the equivalent of $17.33 a gallon, based on infrastructure, charging equipment, subsidies, etc. This kind of talk makes me sick, feels like some are pushing against EV’s in a big way, twisting the truth.
Coming from true EV owners what do you all think of this?
I think every state should require annual safety checks like Hawaii. It would be easy to set up a mileage based registration fee this way. Another benefit of course would be safer cars on the road, as well as red flagging all those deleted diesels rolling coal on us. Of course there will always be “that shop” that will take a bribe to get you certified, but that would just add to the cost of ownership for those rigs, especially if you got caught, haha.
