It's almost like increasing demand without increasing supply leads to higher costs. 🤔 Who knew?

So many questions

Are these home charging prices or public charging stations?

How about comparing charging in CA to gas prices in a normal state?

Are we using the rated or actual range/consumption for EVs?

TURN is now concerned with rate payers again? They were, then they changed into cheerleaders for renewables. Now they have discovered that rates are too high. Are they putting the two together?

I could go on. EVs are collapsing under their own weight. Only lies can save them..temporarily.

People who buy an EV based on saving on gasoline should look at the whole picture - the cost of battery replacement in about 8 years, and consequent low trade-in value, vs the possibility of keeping the gas car for 15 or even 20 years if they wanted to. Not to mention longer fill up times and the down time during power outages.

I have nearly 300,000 miles on a 4 runner that has had a cumulative repair cost of less than $20,000 over 10 years and is still worth $10,000. A 2023 tesla model 3 with 100,000 miles has a retail value of $13,000. A lot more than the price of the fuel matters.
