67% of US electricity is generated by fossil fuels, so for most people the price of electricity would skyrocket too.

Nuclear power accounts for 19%; those in a nuclear power plant's coverage zone would see EVs being cheaper than gasoline-powered cars, unless you factored in the nuclear waste storage problem. Those near powerful rivers can benefit from the 7% of electricity from hydropower dams.

Wind and solar together are less than 5% of US electricity generation and basically irrelevant as a source of power for our transportation needs.

EVs are not a panacea; cities are. Demolish the suburbs, build vertically, live within walking distance of things, and you won't need so much energy.

You could invest all the revenue from fossil fuel taxes in renewable energy so that everybody benefits from it.
