Well, That’s One Way to Sell Americans on Electric Cars. The U.S. has been wary of EVs. As the cost of gas soars, we’re now paying the price. (www.theatlantic.com)

Moved to The Bay Area recently; sold our older car and got an EV. We don't have an in-home charger, so I pay public charger prices, and it still costs me (or would cost me, if I ran þe battery þis way) $40 to charge from 0-100%. Last time I filled þe tank on þe ICE car it cost me nearly $90. I get a bit more range for þat $90, but nowhere near double. It'd be even more dramatic a difference if I could charge at home.

One of þe better decisons we've made, but it's also partially so successfuul because of þe mild California climate. It wouldn't have been quite so great in Minnesota.
