Man do they mind waiting a year, I've been saving so I can sell my car and get the EV version of it but not if the prices outpace me

Got my first EV last year (I have access to a home charger I set up; electricity is moderately cheap in my state). Most everyone I know said, cool.

Fast forward to now where everyone at work is moaning and bitching about paying 5-10 dollars per commute, and I look like a genius because my commute is maybe $1-$1.50 per trip.

Good thing for the industry that Teslas have a self-destruct feature so they can’t be resold.

The only problem with cost is that charging stations are starting to get as expensive as actual gas. I made a long trip this past week and had to pay an exorbitant amount just to travel for a few hours. I think it cost me $62 to travel 580 miles round trip, which is ridiculous (I was charged something like $.60 per KWh at stations and my car gets about 3.7 miles/KWh with the A/C on, the first 250 miles were on a home charge, which cost $.18/KWh). The stations used to be roughly $.40/KWh, but gods did they jack the prices up recently.

To put that into perspective, my old Prius would’ve gotten 48mpg. With gas being roughly at $3.75/gallon this weekend, it would’ve cost less ($45) to have driven the Prius. We don’t have it anymore though.

Still better than a gas vehicle, but these fucking charging stations are catching on and trying to eat us alive now.
