Nope. Why would it. It will increase cause of inflationary pressures. Most electricity is heavily regulated by public utility commissions.

Why would you make that comparison. Tesla aren’t cross shoppers of corollas or vice versa. 2 different class of vehicles. Why not compare a Corolla to a Bolt? Sun $30k priced cars.

My Corolla is 9 years old, costs ,<$40 week in fuel. I'm pretty sure a 9 year old bolt is due for a battery change. Show me the numbers......

Supply grows with demand in electricity market. Electricity is produced when needed. most EV’s charge at night when demand is down and plenty of capacity in the grid. Also with the average drive of maybe 40 miles a day that is only 10-15 kwhs at most for most EV’s. Not a lot of power ultimately in off demand times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everyone plugs their ev in at night, will demand go down at night? Nope! 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do however see people sitting and waiting for a charger to be available during the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
