EVs are more efficient so it would be even more expensive if gasoline powered.

I am always saddened by the fact the United States is locked into a sub-optimal grid topology. Providing three phase 400V power to all customers results in so much more reliable a system. Just can’t see a credible way from where we are today to worldwide best practices though.

Maybe 3 phase 208 should be the goal. That would be a hard transition but at least all the 120 volt devices would keep working and we wouldn’t need to change outlets.
