I have owned electric cars
I have owned electric cars for over 10 years and have not paid a dime to charge any of them. I have 3 free level 2 chargers within a mile of my home. I also can travel up and down California's main interstates and enjoy fast charging provided free from the state's taxpayers at conveniently placed rest stops. The choice of Prius versus Bolt was a no brainer for me. My advice is to check out what free charging options are available near where you live before you decide whether to go EV or not.
