Yup, you'll have lots of time to calculate your great EV milage as you sit for hours waiting on a recharge and looking out the window at all those ICE tow vehicles going by that don't have to recharge every 85 miles.
Watching the present pass you by as you wait for that future.

The electric future is already here .... Will take time to get up to speed...
We need a carbon tax to equalize the field... Maybe $2.00 per gallon on
liquid fuels and a proportional amount on other types of fossil fuel or
energy created with them.

No more subsidies for EVs.
And EVs start paying their fair share for the road taxes. But to be truly fair, those taxes should be more in line with the heavier vehicles that EVs are - like how pickup and light-duty trucks put more wear on roads.
Then there is the cost of EV's share of cleaning up the environment from lithium and other heavy metals mining and production.
And another tax on EVs to make up for the increased load they are and will increasingly be putting on the already marginal power grid to help update it to handle the load.
Plus, another tax for the increased pollution for the added fossil fuel electric generating needed to supply all those EV's.
How's that EVM looking now ?

LOL..... the vehicles are subsidized, you pay no road fuel tax and now you are suggesting even more tax to "equalize" things. That's not equalization, that's penalizing. If you want to equalize things start charging the electric vehicles a per mile tax and stop subsidizing them.
Barney: Electric trucks, the greatest thing since sliced bread.
Sunny Boy: You need to sit and wait for it to charge.
Barney: We'll tax the *censored* out of gas/diesel to make the wait worth your while.

What you do when your neighbors unplug your truck at night so they can run their air conditioner? We do not have generator capacity to go all electric at this time.

The message is, get an EV and you'll have loads of time to sit at charging stations trying to convince yourself how much you're saving.
That kind of travel "economy" used to be called, "Taking the slow boat to China."
