And the price of fossil fuels are going up for one reason only. We need price-gouging regulation desperately. There are plans for an EV power supply grids that *should* include price controls since itās a government plan, but weāll see, Iām not hopeful. Also a more diversified mix of green energy. I hope folks (at large, not this website specifically) bemoaning the environmental impact of EVs are also pushing for true green energy since green energy powered EVs are definitely among the cleanest. Time will tell on that.FWIW:

This is the obvious and inevitable result when a majority of electricity in the U.S. is still generated from fossil fuel (natural gas). Gas prices go up, it's used to generate electricity, so electricity prices go up.
Adding as an aside:
EVs arenāt about the cost comparison for the consumer (even though most who charge at home/work during the right times will pay a fraction of what these speed-chargers cost), but the overall benefit for everyone.
Weāre on the cutting edge of paradigm changing technology and that will always come with some growing pains. EVs are the future and no matter how much teeth gnashing we do here, that isnāt changing. We just have to be ready, as enthusiasts, for that change.
