It is almost like... everyone is starting to plug in giant electric things that must be charged! hm.. how strange! I wonder what that could be!

That's way too true! If you want real world numbers, the 16K miles we charged our EV at home last year added about 4,900 kWh to our power demand for the year. Call it 400 kWh per month to drive 1,300 per month. Of course, if you have tons of home solar and do your homework on making it work efficiently for you, an EV can be valuable. But most people don't do that.

To: Tell It Right

for those who only drive a few miles to work, never take road trips and have a workplace that provides free charging.. it might be a good deal. Until.. the battery needs to be switched out, which will total the car basically.

The whole thing is a mess.
