1. I considered buying a hybrid two years ago but after making the cost comparison

with the gas model it didn't make sense. The hybrid was about $2000 more and the state of
Ohio charges an extra $100 per year registration fee? That would buy a lot of gas. I know at this time
when gas prices are (temporally I hope) really high it may pay but at that time it didn't. The extra
registration fee is not fair. If I bought a car with a gas engine and got 35 MPG I don't have to pay the fee.
But if I would buy a hybrid that gets 35 MPG I have to pay extra.

2. It costs me about $10 in electricity to fill my EV at home

That gives me about 250 miles of driving. My wife's car gets about 25mpg, so 10 gallons of gas will give me the same range.

At $5-6 per gallon, every mile in the gas car is 5-6 times more expensive.

No wonder there are waiting lists for most EVs these days.
