That’s really funny. My electricity prices have basically tripled over the past two or three years and my use hasn’t changed.
With the push towards AI data centers that seem to have coats pushed to the average homeowner, I do not think an EV will be the most cost effective option, at least in “car” form.
Maybe an electric bike or scooter would be more cost effective

I know the prices vary by state and municipality but even with a 300% increase you might still save money overall with reduced maintenance and cost-per-mile. Filling up my tank with gas is ~$42 right now and with an equivalent EV it would cost ~$12 to fully charge (if it was 0-100%).
I feel you… I went full electric and despite having solar I’m at about 300€ monthly. And that’s on top of the cost of solar and the production I get from the panels. The less we take on the grid the more expensive it is. Now we pay to inject our production when we don’t auto consume it. So all in all it’s always about paying more.
But at least we are not fucking up the air anymore which was the initial idea.

Extra stupid because, even if he doesn’t care about the retail price of gasoline for normal people, gas prices drive inflation by increasing the cost to produce basically everything.

How in touch he always seems with the common man. Just remarkable.
Would you expect any less from the man who invented the word “groceries”?
Marie Antoinette wants her sentiment back
(Yes I know it’s apocryphal don’t @ me)
“let them
eat cakeuse diesel”Diesel is more expensive in the US.
Cake is more expensive than bread
and some breads in the US qualify as cakes due to unnecessarily high sugar content
“ethel, get them damn kids hitched up to the truck! they pull slow and we gonna be late!”
If they rise, they rise. Just makes solar an even more fucking obvious choice.
110% my next car will be an EV.

Hybrid vehicles are still an option.

I think that the distinct overlap between abusive religion and abusive leaders is what makes the former so useful to the latter.
The original Reuters article instead of this dumpster fire of a source. (Canned explanation whenever I’m not so lazy.)
Also, the IB Times (as usual for this piece of shit outlet) is citing a quote from over a month ago as if it’s new news.
Something something brioches?

Guy who doesn’t pay for his own gas doesn’t care about gas prices. More at 11.
Yeah. The morons he had to appease already gave him a 2nd term.
If the president gets shot, then let him get shot.
I like him! At least he’s honest! A real man of the people. Someone I could get a beer with. Drain the swamp!
Trump to the world: “Fuck you all, no one is stopping me from doing anything so I will keep getting more extreme until we find a breaking point.”
Let them eat cake!
Wasn’t he elected precisely because of things like gas prices?
If he was PM here in UK he would be facing calls to resign. This would be seen as abandoning the electorate or breaking a manifesto pledge.
