Price of gas is not the cost of gas.

It should include a way of getting the gases back into non-gas form and to reverse/mitigate any damages caused in the process. And the same for all of the supply chains (for gas and electricity, and any product really), can't produce that much waste on a finite planet & just forget about it if there are no (complete, non-bs) recycling processes, natural or man-made.

Thats why plastic very much isn't cost-efficient, it's just cheap bcs legislators allow it to be.

This sounds like BS. Years ago I calculated the cost of electricity is 1/5 of gas. Unless electricity jacked up (gas has stayed roughly the same) this doesn't make sense.

I'm about 2 years from being able to charge at home using excess solar (during 9ish months of the year, anyway) almost exclusively. That, plus not needing nearly as many service appointments, is going to save me enough on running costs to cover about 1/2 of the car payment on the electric car I'll get (based on current prices, solar wattage / sqft, and my own driving habits). Its a very privileged position to be in.

What kind of maniac intentionally only charges at public charging stations? That would be the only way I could see to make filling up an EV cost more. Maybe on-street parking apartment dwellers who also can't charge at work would fit that description.
