It’s hard not to notice those vanity license plates like “GASLOL” on EVs while driving around. Why so braggy? Maybe EV drivers know something we don’t?
We combed through popular social media platforms and found that the cost of EV charging versus gasoline is a hot debate right now.
One Reddit user said they now spend $70 more on their electricity bill from at-home charging compared with $330 a month in gas previously. Some Reddit users argued against the actual savings. One naysayer, for example, said they think public supercharging is expensive and time-consuming, and another said the cost of installing their home EV charger negated any savings.
Lowering their fuel costs may be the main reason the EV-curious think about going all-electric in the first place. In June 2022, gas prices hit a record high, averaging more than $5 a gallon nationwide, and although gas prices have fallen to around $3.56, as of June 2024, gas price volatility has many drivers looking at alternatives, such as EVs or hybrids.
