Cost of Driving an EV

1) it became obvious that oil & fuel were needed for the security & economic growth of the nation. I seem to recall a couple of rather large skirmishes sandwiching that starting period....
2) this, while not true free market, benefited nearly every single US citizen & endeavor.
3) while prices may have went up due to natural market bouyancy, the Arab oil embargo, an unnatural contraction of supply was more responsible for the "wild" part. I sat in those lines, during the oil "shortage".
Would you be in favor of the government artificially holding the price of electricity low if it were to promote security and economic growth of the nation and Benefit nearly every us citizens and endeavor? Imagine what that would do for the ev industry.
