Apropos of nothing...but EVERY gas station...

[ret5hd]

that ICE uses has an emergency button that stops all gas pump power.

coincidence? maybe.

1. Not to mention gas is up 50 cents a gallon in the last month here

Is it just us in Northern Nevada or is this everywhere?

[Jerry2144]

2. It's up in southern Nevada

Not sure how much. I drive an EV and drives a plug in hybrid. I think it might be 50-60 cents higher

4. I thought a presidential executive order outlawed EVs. No?

You’re smarter than I am. I need to make the change.

10. He's trying to make it harder to own and drive

But non-Tesla EVs are incredible. Cheap to operate (mine costs 3.7 cents per mile at our electricity rates, when not drawing from solar), cheap to maintain (8 tire rotations at $20 each over 80K miles, 3 cabin air filters at $20 each, one set of tires at 50K miles for $1000).

It's great if you can charge at home or work cheaply. Public fast chargers are fast (mine does an 80% charge in about 15 minutes, just enough to go pee and grab a coffee) but drive the cost up to about 20-25 cents per mile. Using public fast chargers only is tough. It's like going to the gas station every day or two.
