well, one good thing about higher gas prices is it makes EV more attractive. With less free charging available from schools and other publik sources, to operating costs of EV in SF Bay Area is same as auto getting 30mpg. Now with higher prices, it's comparable to auto with 40mpg.
Out here in AZ with power costing 1/2 as much, EV can compete my Ninjette getting 60mpg.
