I was just pointing out how we don't pay the "real" cost of gasoline.

And EVs are on the cusp of being superior to ICEs in every possible way. We'll get to that this decade. They're going to be cheaper to build, they're already safer, better performing, and more reliable. Convenience is the hang up in perception only right now, I know people who own EVs, they never need charging stations because their EVs are charging every night in their garages.
