The equipment is different but range is similar so that is the comparison. Sure there are also contrasts however I was just making the point 175 mile range is not an immediate fail.
Of course fueling the Tesla will be a bit lower cost... and we all know the real American past time is complaining about cost of petrol.
There is a long thread around here on that... but jumping to an EV is probably just a crazy as paying for petrol and getting 8 mpg. Pick your poison.
There's a pay to charge station not far from me. I don't recall the exact number, but it was something like $15 for 15 minutes. Never saw a single EV at that location.
Tsla chargers were mandatory or hardly anyone would have bit. The carrot and the stick will be in play because in the end it can't be any cheaper to drive fuel wise or the system is losing money.
The fuel tax revenue may drop but electirc will eventually have to carry the same load. How can it not? The vehicle maintenance may be less vs ice but I beat in the end there will be no savings on fuel. Sure, your own solar may help a good deal but massive electrical infrastructure upgrading will be needed.
