My utility company (SCE) charges me more if I go over 'Baseline'; the rates go up quite a bit. I am a miserly user and my average bill is 80-$100/mo. On the rare occasions that I do use more the rates go up exponentially. IF I added an EV, my usage would skyrocket and my rate would probably double or triple.
THEREFORE, what I save on gas, I would pay in increased electric rates.
So, more expensive car, more money spent on electricity means a lose - lose for me. I'm sure others have figured it out. Only guilt-ridden or snobbish fools can afford the luxury. I choose NOT to give SCE more money; they're overcharging and over compensated as it is.
