    If you’re work commuting with an EV and charging at home. What’s the hit to your electric bill?

    Because that’s one of a few bottlenecks. $10 every few days for some gas is a lot easier on people than a blanket X hundreds of dollars higher light bill.

    Being poor is expensive.

      I was paying $385 per month in gas for an Astra hatchback, which is not exactly a gas guzzler, though I did live in the mountains at the time.

      I replaced it with a Bolt EV and the hit to my electric bill was about $50 with the same commute.

      My MIL has had the original leaf and is now driving a newer Bolt. She said her bill only went up 20-30 bucks a month compared to what she was spending a month on gas.
