The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

>>>In Massachusetts, electricity rate including delivery is about 30 cents/kWh, so 100 miles would cost 0.3*34.6 = $10.38. Most combustion sedans have average driving distance of 30 miles/gallon, 100 miles would cost 3.3 gallon and $10 with $3/gallon price.<<

Thats an excellent point--our electric and natural gas costs here in MA are surging. Natural Gas just informed a 27% increase this season.

If effective cost of EV equals $3.00 per gallon at the gas pump, I just filled up at $2.68 with unleaded gas. So EV is now more expensive here.
