EV Charging’s Dirty Little Secret — Why It Can Cost As Much As Gas, And How to Pay Less

It takes a bit to figure out the best strategies for EV charging. Would I do it again?

I’ve taken several road trips in a Mustang Mach-E lately, and wow, have I learned a lot.

At first, I was nervous to take the plunge into road tripping in an EV, especially driving a distance that exceeds the Mach-E’s range of 234 miles. Silly, I know; it’s the rare car that can travel 500 miles on a tank of gas, so why would we expect that of an EV?

But as range anxiety sets in, nerves flare up: what if the battery runs down faster than expected? What if I get stuck? Where are the chargers, exactly? What if they are broken or slow? Will I be able to get a soda or use the restroom? What if there are creepy people around?

All the goblins flooded my mind, but I had to remind myself: I can do this; lots of others have before me; I’m smart and capable.
