New peak rates mean charging electric cars more expensive than petrol

[Saint Guinefort]

Than u pay less than a 100.00 fee

Well, you don't know what I pay. But given that I don't drive that much I guess I don't see how I'm failing to pay my fair share. I drive 5 miles a day on average. How much should I pay?

I don't have solar because of my roof orientation but I love charging my EV in my garage. No trips to the gas stations for me. No toxic gas fumes. No spilling gas. No waiting in line. No paying rising gas prices.

I love my EV.

No range.

Pretty fuckin' good, actually. Why do you suggest this?

[Saint Guinefort]

No range.

300 miles is pretty good. Not perfect but certainly greater than zero.

I want what works. EV's don't work. If they did, then they could flourish in the marketplace without massive government subsidies and mandates for their purchase. It is YOU that is arguing that authoritarian, totalitarian, government is a good thing, you FASCIST!

Mine works fine. I've never had a problem going anywhere I want. I went down to my Alma Mater last October (a 280 mile trip). Stopped once to recharge. Took about 30 minutes. Ate lunch while waiting. Same on ride home. When I'm not traveling, I charge in my garage. Super convenient. I've saved a bundle on gas. I've got a great car that has awesome performance and nice features. No radiator fluid. No oil changes. No transmission. No Auto Trans fluid. Brakes are rarely used so saving there on maintenance. I'm never going back to ICE cars. They're obsolete. The world is going electric and there's nothing anybody can do to stop it. Even you.
Does that make you all butt-hurt, TA Garbler?

a 100.00 a year fee per year is not paying your fair share,,u are not paying your fair share for roads etc

Gas tax per gallon in Ca is .54 cents a gallon

Maybe you should buy a Tesla and stop wetting your panties over the price of gas.

I'm guessing he said it because misery loves company.

I don't live in California.

Sorry.

What state?

Can you tow a 5th wheel trailer?

The real problem is I can't combine a corn field with my Chevy Bolt. It's a real downer because I really want to have a commuter car AND a combine all in one.

Make and model of your EV. Remember you previously posted.

Chevy Bolt.

I can drive across the entire country from NYC to Prudhoe Bay pulling a 15000 lab 5th wheel and do anything your Bolt can do at the same time while carring more passengers. Plus my chances of surviving a wreck in my F250 are much higher than you in your Bolt. EVs make an OK town car at best..
