Average person drives 27 miles per day giving them an 8 mile buffer before they would have to start burning gasoline and that assuming that they can't charge at work like I can or a lot of EV drivers currently can.
Last study that I read suggested that if we didn't give oil companies tax breaks and didn't subsidize gasoline at all that the price would be closer to $7 per gallon, so why do I have to pay for your gasoline and will keep paying for your gasoline, I don't think that's fair.
