EVs don't make sense if you can't charge at home or work.

Those fast charge rates might seem high, but they are on par with gasoline on a cost per mile basis; about 8 cents per mile.

Even at those inflated prices, the chargers lose money because of the demand fees. In fact, the faster the charger, the more money it's likely to lose. A study showed that the slowest of the "fast chargers" are most likely to break even on cost.
