Meanwhile here in California we have inflated electricity prices so much that fueling costs are almost equal. EVs edge out gas cars a little, but not by that much.

Damn if that’s the case, solar installations there should pay itself a lot faster huh?

Yeah. System prices are getting more reasonable (since the end the Investment Tax Credit and the sunsetting of our sorta-favorable NEM2 net energy metering program), but new systems need a battery to be practical, so while the PV system costs are coming down a bit, the shit’s still pretty expensive.
