It costs $240 a month to fill both of our SUV’s. Oil to heat my 2 bedroom house is $500+ and electricity is around $120. What are you smoking?

it is less money to charge your car than spend money on gas. even in CT. the barrier is the high cost (MSRP) of an electric car.

most people are too ashamed to say “i can’t afford it” so they turn it into “i’m not stupid enough to pay more for fueling!!” which is not true.

This is my reason as well also the incompatibility and disaster that is our charging network. I don't think in a capitalistic government that will be solved let alone the time it takes to charge should be 5-10 mins max. There is no way this will be sustainable especially in this market or economy for the foreseeable future.

Imagine telling your boss its going to be 45 mins till I get to work to charge my car you think that excuse is going to fly lol.
