Hi - I, too, have been
Hi - I, too, have been driving a (DIY converted) EV for a couple of years. Only, I'm in the UK where the current unleaded price is *US$7.84 per US gallon*. This is more than twice what you are paying in the US but believe me, this price will be coming to a gas station near you in the near future. It has even come down a bit in recent weeks from an $8.08 peak. Premium (super) unleaded is now $8.31, standard diesel much the same. These are all average UK prices, mind. The max price currently in the UK for premium unleaded is US$9.26!
At that gas price, owning an EV or Volt-like hybrid starts to look like a 'no brainer' as you Americans say. I would still be driving my van now the 40 miles round trip to work each day (and loving it) but some loon in a 4x4 caused its early demise.
I have another EV in the offing though...
