I got you.
If you think government regulations will help reign in prices I invite you to look at the Texas power grid price structure it's highway robbery already.
And if the government can't keep current electricity and gas prices under control why should we for a second think they'd do better if we were all driving electric vehicles.
The only pattern I see is to build a moat and use their regulatory capture to raise prices while ignoring infrastructure to the detriment of everyone.
- bryanlarsen 4y agoTexas is the cheapest place in the US to charge an EV. Very occasionally it has the most expensive electricity in the US, but most of the time its the cheapest. The nice thing about an EV is that you can schedule your electricity usage. On average, my EV needs about half an hour of charging daily and is plugged in about 14 hours a day. So I just charge while its cheap and ignore the times when its expensive.
