The oil crisis is making drivers realize they can’t afford not to drive electric

With gas at $4.09/gal and oil crises recurring every few years, the math is clear: driving electric saves $100-200/month. Here's the breakdown.

I've been through this before. In about 1972 we had a gas crunch, high prices, rationing. What was becoming available as some help were small cars, many of them made in Japan. But capitalists, being forever opportunists, immediately raised the price of small cars.

So I expect the price of electric vehicles to climb rapidly.

If I was younger I'd be shopping for one anyway, but at my age I'm not anxious to buy a new car.
