@Porcelain I don't exactly have an extra $100k to plunk down on an EV.

No charging stations here, either.

Sounds like a great business opportunity for you or someone you know. If you don't take advantage of it, someone else will. That's the American way. Entrepreneurs always find a way.

 I believe 'some' want high gas prices to push people to buy expensive electric cars that most people can’t afford. 

Instead of worrying about gas prices, Americans will have to worry about skyrocketing electricity prices under the heavy demand EVs will create … and the rolling blackouts when supply can’t meet demand in a regulated environment. Yep!

Geez! Gas is now 4.20, yesterday was 4! Costco is always cheaper, but at this rate I don't know what to do! Driving as much as I do when to support my business I have to be on the road. It sucks to maybe forego other things for gas in my vehicle.

I did look at hybrid vehicles 2 years ago when I got a new one, but to replace the battery was thousands!! Not worth it if your battery dies and you need to come up with multiple thousands of dollars on the spot to replace it! And batteries are never covered under a vehicle warranty.

The average outside of Atlanta (Snellville) is about $3.75.

Saw something yesterday where it was said that some strange people were drilling holes in the gas tank (going under the vehicle to do this) putting a bucket and draining the gas tank. Wow!!

One owner said he tried to start his car and it wouldn't start because the tank was empty even though he filled his tank the day before.  It costs him a few thousand dollars to fix it.

They are saying it's because of the price of gas why this is been done. A few of the thieves were caught on camera.

Great question and although prices vary, the prices are on going up across the board.

Here in MA, regular was $4.20.

I remember rationing in the 70's, that was brutal. Fingers crossed that never happens again.

Because electricity is free and fossel fuels are not used to generate it, 🙄

I asked my husband that out of curiosity the other day.  He didn't know.  Haven't been to a gas station since 2016.  That was the year we got our first electric car.  Have had them ever since.
