Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

0.47 a kwh!? Where do you live where that is in any way good prices?! No wonder you're so willing to shop at Walmart if you think nearly 50c a kwh is anything but a deep fucking of you by Walmart...
That'd be considered cheap in California.
My last (only) road trip had prices ranging from $0.3_ to $0.68
That's pretty standard for DC fast charging in the US. I have the luxury of being able to charge at home overnight for a fraction of that, but if you're road tripping or you don't have the living situation to charge at home then you're pretty much stuck with DC fast charging at much higher rates.
In the UK, fast chargers are regularly over £0.80 a kWh. It means that journeys beyond your range actually cost more than gas (even when gas is really expensive too).
and yet regulators are willing to give datacenters a discount?? Sounds like it's beyond time for some change of stewardship around the world...
