Cost of Driving an EV

Does that actually happen? The people I know with EV's simply use them around town, to commute to work, etc., charge them at home, and have another family vehicle for longer trips. They don't even use a commercial charging station. It seems like a made up cost to exaggerate the author's conclusion.

Their time cost argument is a joke too. If you charge your EV at night (which most people probably do), it should actually save you refueling time. Instead, they show a 7-fold increase in time costs. That alone should have anyone questioning their 'findings.'

Not sure. I do see a lot of EV cars on interstate 5 between Seattle and San Francisco. A lot of Cali plates in Oregon, so that would tell me these peps are not local. Also see a bunch of EV’s make the trip out to the beach from Portland. It’s 140 miles one way and often see the changing station at store full of cars...
