California drivers are stuck between two bad options with escalating costs and policymakers continue to make matters worse.
The theory is that though upfront costs are higher, EV “refueling” holds a major advantage of electric vehicles over their gas-powered counterparts. EVs do not require gasoline, which California has taxed and regulated into oblivion, sending prices soaring; instead they rely on electricity that costs less.
But those savings are rapidly deteriorating, especially for those of us who live in PG&E’s service area.
