8:34 pm
to evs are immediate because electricity is much cheaper than gasoline by an average of half the cost and maintenance is less expensive because evs have about 20 versus 2000 parts in a gas powered car and powering up can be made more convenient. with many incentives, for example, california utilities offer a 30 to 35% discount for evs for low-income customers who also can qualify for a free charger with home installation under what's called the new clean cars for all program. these electric cars can be also plugged into an ordinary household outlet. 110 volts. otherwise he will have to find the nears free or cheap public charging station. that could be a bit inconvenient. and it really depends on how long you have to have your car sitting there to fully fit power up based the supercharged versus just the ordinary one. so supply chain issues at this moment by also be another obstacle right now, if you can
