Nolte: Brits Pay More to Charge Electric Car than to Gas Up
Breitbart ^ | 01-24-2023 | John Nolte

Per mile traveled, our British friends are now paying more to charge their electric cars than to gas them up.

Do stories come any more feel-good than this?

No, no, they do not:

Rapid charge points used by motorists topping up on long drives are now nearly £10 more expensive than filling up a car with petrol, the RAC revealed last week.

But research from the AA published on Monday finds that recharging an electric car even using a slow public charger at peak times can be more expensive, per mile driven afterwards, than for refuelling a comparable petrol car.

More windmills and solar panels are needed to scar the landscape.

It’s still a good question.
I’m sure Lindsey would be happy to ‘service’ Biden’s

To be fair, this is comparing gas prices (per mile) with charging prices at “rapid charge points” and “slow public charger at peak times”. Imagine if a fat Republican said he must be pretty skinny, look how skinny he is when standing next to Stacey Abrams. Ummm...just about anybody is skinny when standing next to her.

Next up-—walking everywhere including work. Yes, it saves the planet and cuts down on all emissions with the exception of you exhaling.

Next up-—exhale tax.

Yes, of course. That was the Central Planners’ intent all along.

Restrict use of foods causing flatulence such as starchy beans, to reduce global warming.

Tell that to the impoverished kids mining cobalt by hand in Africa.

just wait until the UK figures out how to add on a per-mile tax to makeup for the lack of gasoline taxes paid by electrics ...

Shouldn’t be too difficult.
Here in Indiana you pay more for your registration with of ev or plug-in hybrid to compensate for not paying fuel tax.

Support slave labor mining lithium.

Pollute the environment while claiming to save the planet.

Create parking lot, street, structure and garage fires.

Spend more to buy the car—and bonus:

Spend more to operate it while crippling the electric grid for others.

Classic leftist scheme:

Everybody loses.
