    I got blasted with a $700 electric bill this month, and we didn’t really do anything new or different. So this doesn’t surprise me really.

    If electricity is going to cost this much, I guess the only way electric gets “cheaper” than gas is by hiking gas prices until its cheaper to charge. Consumers are never going to win though.

      What was your bill the month before? How much more or less did you run the AC this month? Did you take any road trips?

      You can make your own electricity at home if you have the room, by installing solar panels.

      IMO everyone should invest in off-grid solar if you can manage it. I have electricity on tap no matter what the power company or their wires are doing.

      Or if gas is actually cheaper than electricity, just install a trailer hitch and a hitch cargo carrier, then mount an inverter generator on your cargo carrier and charge the EV on the go with gas.
