When you start getting closer to $0.20/kWh https://www.fueleconomy.gov/
then there is no much different between EV and hybrid.
If you then account for the fact that EVs can easily go for
a +$10k over the hybrid equivalent...then you should come to the conclusion
that EV is not that convenient, if at all. Also, many have mentioned the possibility of charing at work ... good luck
with that. I am in favor of EVs, but infrastructure is not there yet and as said they are
still too expensive. Also, given the pace of innovation, I think EVs depreciates
faster than Hybrid equivalent. |

Frankly even if solar were even with gasoline I'd still prefer solar because I generate it myself. No supply chain issues, refining problems, or oil disruptions can stop me from driving or increase my cost to drive.
If you keep saying "infrastructure is not there" then it will never get there. You need demand to kickstart infrastructure deployment. Maybe infrastructure isn't good where you live but for a lot of people it exists and continues to improve. Lots of parking lots in the bay area have electric charging points now - there were approximately zero just 10 years ago.
Electricity has the benefit of an existing grid everyone is already connected to, large chunks of time when that grid runs at a tiny fraction of its capacity, and really easy capacity upgrade paths that operators already do all the time (eg when an industrial plant expands or a new commercial facility is built).
