Lies About EV Charging

Kathi Horton sent the meme here and adds, “Yet another reason not to go EV at this point – they really haven’t thought through all the impacts of this technology.”

Actually, “they” have a pretty good grasp on this, but you don’t.

EV charging, where it’s not offered for free, is priced according to the energy used, i.e., dollars / KWh. In California, the cost to the user in a commercial (for-profit) setting is typically $0.30 / KWh for Level 2 charging.  A typical EV with a 100 KWh battery goes 340 miles, meaning the cost is 8.8 cents per mile.

Again, this is a worst-case scenario; most charging is either done at home, at much lower rates, or is provided gratis.
