I am seeing a lot of negative articles on EV’s lately. They are using the slowdown in EV sales as a result of people abandoning EV’s. Yet I believe the slowdown is from high interest rates, inflation on everything, and people don’t have as much money right now because of inflation.

I just seen an article saying the true cost of running an EV is the equivalent of $17.33 a gallon, based on infrastructure, charging equipment, subsidies, etc. This kind of talk makes me sick, feels like some are pushing against EV’s in a big way, twisting the truth.

Coming from true EV owners what do you all think of this?

    I am seeing a lot of negative articles on EV’s lately. They are using the slowdown in EV sales as a result of people abandoning EV’s.

    That would mean prices of used EVs are going down.

    Yet I believe the slowdown is from high interest rates,

    That would cause prices of new and possibly even used EVs to go down.

    inflation on everything,

    That would cause prices of used EVs are going down.

    and people don’t have as much money right now because of inflation.

    That would mean prices of used EVs are going down.

    So is the price going up or down?

    I just seen an article saying the true cost of running an EV is the equivalent of $17.33 a gallon, based on infrastructure, charging equipment, subsidies, etc.

    What is the true cost of running a petrol car based on infrastructure, fueling equipment, oil industry subsidies, oil changes, etc?
