Of course it is. EV charging doesn’t exist in a vacuum, nor do gasoline prices. In most situations the electricity is still derived from fossil fuels of some form, with peak power coming from natural gas plants. Until the grid itself is primarily powered by renewables, we won’t see divergence between fossil fuel prices and electrical prices.
I just got an EV this week and I’ve been planning out some road trips. Projected cost for a 362 mile trip is $5.30. Cost for gas for the same trip is about $72 now. It that’s not diverged, I’d be interested to know what you would consider as diverged?
Nice. I looked at the 3. It seemed like any cost savings are quickly eaten up by the difference in price over a comparable vehicle. I’m hoping that changes.
My previous car took premium gas, which is now over $5 in the Midwest. My insurance went up by about $30/month, but my last car was a 2009.
I wanted to like the 3 but the seat position relative to the visor and headliner didn’t work for me as a tall person. I had to slouch to drive the car with the seat all the way down.
