So I went and read the original study. The original study did not say that it costs more to fuel EVs. It said that it CAN cost more to fuel EVs. I.e. if all you do is use the most expensive public charging, then it can cost more for fuel than an ICE car that only uses the cheapest gas.
Granted the study itself was slanted against EVs I.e. they took into account that some states charge higher taxes to register an EV, but ignored the fact that some states (Arizona at least) give discounts when registering "clean fuel" vehicles. They counted "Deadhead" miles for EVs to find public chargering stations, but ignored deadhead miles for ICE's to find gas stations. They accounted for "charging efficiency loss" but ignored ICE efficiency loss (MUCH higher losses) They accounted for the time lost due to paying for a charging station, but ignore the time loss to pay for gas. Even when charging at home, they present only the worst case costs. Etc. etc. etc. My PGP public key: https://vanderwal.us/evdl_pgp.key October 26, 2021 2:58 AM, "paul dove via EV" <ev@lists.evdl.org> wrote: > But the BS factor is clear when you read the conclusion that driving electric > costs more than > gasoline.
