They use electricity. And my average monthly power bill is already over $400 a month. You think I want that to be even higher?

Some of your concerns may be valid, but I pay relatively high prices for electricity, 35¢/kWH, and even at that price, the hit to my electric bill is half what I used to spend on gasoline. Current gas price make that even better

Come to Quebec, where electricity is about USD $0.05/kWh. And over 99% of that is renewable (hydroelectric)!

It's less about the gas and electricity than it is about adding a car note and higher insurance.
