And yes James, acknowledge that you enjoy cheap electric rates today, but again, if we ALL had EVs, the rates WILL go up and states WILL find a means to garner tax revenue for highway maintenance when/if gas taxes dry up. Enjoy your loophole while it lasts.
Crypto mining will have a much deeper impact on electricity prices than EV ever could. Crypto requires 24/7 draw of electricity and is an energy hog. Don't take my word for it. The data is out there.
