Where in Europe is gasoline only $5/gallon, or do you mean their local rate for gasoline?
I was surprised recently when BC’s gas prices were about the same as WA’s, it’s almost always been more expensive in my lifetime.
- fragmede 3y agoedited my comment to say that SF gas prices are $5. It was two separate thoughts. The broader point is that gasoline vs electricity is energy either way, and the cost of different kinds of energy aren't always going to favor electricity in San Francisco in the near future, it seems.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoOne thing to consider is energy independence. It’s maybe more relevant in Asia and Europe, but not having your cars depend on imports is a huge win if you can manage it. For CA, the whole PG&E thing is a mess, I’m in the PNW and my EV is insignificant to fill while our gas prices best CA.
