Meh. We have been hearing that for 7 years since we switched to EV’s. Back then it was 4 times cheaper to drive electric than gas. Now it’s 6 times cheaper.
BC hydro is applying to implement TOU or time of use billing. If they are successful it will be 12 times cheaper to drive electric than gas. Hope they are successful. :).
Meh, it doesn't matter what you have been hearing or doing for 7 years. It's only a matter of time before the tipping point is reached where fuel tax revenue falls off enough to push gubmint to tax EV's in some way to make it up. It may be a mileage tax, a registration tax, or perhaps a surcharge added to your electric bill, who knows what. The certain thing is it's coming and probably soon. Then it will not be cheaper. I would not be surprised if it ends up more expensive.
