This map shows the cost of charging an EV at home across the U.S. Home-charging is significantly cheaper in all 50 states than fueling a car with gasoline.

@Sheril Interesting to see that the only state in which charging an EV is more expensive than in California is in Hawaii. Why is that? What can we do about it?

@ELS @Sheril Because much electricity generation in the US comes from burning fossil fuels, which are costly to import to such an isolated location. And having an interstate connected grid helps offset costs from supply-demand mismatch, which is something Hawaii doesn't have.
ETA: Maine, and I believe New York, are also higher than CA.
