The EV Comeback. I may be biased because I’ve been driving electric since 2012 (Chevy Volt beta tester!). My reason for driving electric goes beyond that it’s a better car to drive, I get to plug in every night and start the day with a full tank of gas. Not going to the gas station is an amazing feeling. But it’s also because electricity tends to be FAR less volatile in pricing than gas, especially right now. This is the same thought process why corporations love solar, what other fuel can give you a 25 year contract with predictable contract costs. Imagine a gas plant locking in the cost of electricity (without fuel adjustments) for any period of time, let alone 25 years.
