Am I going crazy of has the amount of anti-EV “articles” started to skyrocket. Just today, I’ve seen a “Why I’m not buying an EV” concern article, some accusing Biden of killing EVs, “The true costs of buying an EV,” and my favorite: “Study: The True Cost of Charging an EV: $17/gallon.” (That study was funded by Exxon Mobil, lol).
What’s going on? Why is all the EV hate in the media ramping up?
I see your subsidies and raise you. The article states, “Adding the costs of the subsidies to the true cost of fueling an EV would equate to an EV owner paying $17.33 per gallon of gasoline,” study authors Brent Bennett and Jason Isaac write. "
However, here fossil fuels have their own subsidy amounting to $7 trillion/year.

An implicit subsidy of $0.75/liter or $2.84/gallon.
The article was written by Texaspolicy.com, a right wing group with ties to Ted Cruz and other degenerates.
