Interesting that it doesn’t really seem to follow the geopolitical pattern you would expect, but the whole environmentalist EV thing has turned completely topsy turvy and therefore somewhat unpredictable in the last few years.
I for one definitely did not see that coming.
Agreed! Of course this is just an energy cost look....some States offer EV tax incentives beyond what the Feds offer, and others tax EV's for road use to "make up" for the tax per gallon of gas "road use tax" that other States do not....so mixed bag.... If you did a total cost per mile analysis which included all costs, pretty sure riding a bicycle would win : )

Unless you include maintenance costs too. Then it would be walking.😂
