A Process Meandering

 I live in a neighborhood with a lot of Tesla cars. The immediate area doesn't seem to have a lot charging stations and there are none at any gas stations I frequent. Obviously, owners of these cars have plug in chargers in their garages and this may become the new standard in the new houses as the older ones are replaced. I have some questions about costs of these vehicles, when everything is factored into their cost, but strategically they make sense with the price of oil so high and the war in the Ukraine.  The impact on the environment is not clear to me, as my perspective may be a little shorter than most.

For most of us, the alternative is public transportation. It's marginally better than driving if available, but it is also an adjustment.

If the price to park your car was taxed in some fair way, we might be able to change some behaviors that are costly and friendlier to the environment.

Go to a dealer and you will have "sticker shock" and a car payment which could drive you to Aldi instead of Whole Foods.
