The cost really depends where you are in CA. In some places electricity is so expensive that it negates the additional savings from not having to fill up at $6/gal. Plus there are no statewide rebates if you make over $43k, so we’re reliant on regional or countywide incentives to sweeten the deal.
Basically, EVs are a no brainer in much of the state, but in other parts it’s still hard to make the cost/benefit math work. Frustrating for the minority of us in rural CA who want EVs.
