As I mentioned, the real cost of gasoline includes more electricity per mile with an ICE powered car than for an EV, because of the embedded energy overhead of oil and gasoline. And the oil companies still get HUGE amounts of money subsidies from the government. Those need to go away.

Put some solar panels on your roof, and drive for zero fuel cost, and cut your carbon footprint for driving to a tiny fraction of what it is now.
