Electrify America Price Increase Email

Well, if gas is that cheap, yes, that could make a difference. But getting 20% cash back on all charging, including the monthly fee (which works of you drive a lot and use only public charging, if you don't, it isn't worth it). Also, keep in mind my cheapest home electric rate is $0.22 per kwh and cheapest gas here is $5 per gallon. So my numbers work out a lot differently. Best cash back I can get on gas is about 2%, so it makes a big difference there as well.

Also, is it fair to compare to your previous vehicles or to one comperably sized?

Great point, I saw a CX-5 the other day and thought I wonder how those numbers pencil out. At the end of the day I just don't care. I've had tons of cars and this is the best I've owned and it's just so easy to live with and I'm driving a lot less post COVID so I just embrace it. Topped off to 60% the other day, talked to some nice Bolt EUV, ID.4 and R1S owners, it's fun to be an EV owner! I'd pay considerably more, honestly, if it meant covered solar canopies and batteries and more chargers as they've identified in their expansion plan. When 1000 mile trips can be made trouble free we're quite a ways ahead of my last EV (eGolf) and super slow charging and super crappy range. I'd be fine if it was even more expensive than a gas car because it's faster than a 55k gas CUV/EV, and loads nicer. But with all the huge advances in renewables I'd guess it's going to be very cheap to run an EV by the end of the decade.
