4 cents a mile times, my car gets 20mpg in town = 80 cents.  How much has the price of gas gone up since January 1?  

The grid does not have the capacity to support the 50% EV goal -- and much of the power still comes from fossil fuels.  I'm hoping my grandkids solve these problems.  Meanwhile, my biggest monthly car expense is insurance, not gas.  (I don't drive much.)  But no one talks about tort reform -- the personal-injury lawyers won't allow it.
