What kind of maniac intentionally only charges at public charging stations? That would be the only way I could see to make filling up an EV cost more. Maybe on-street parking apartment dwellers who also can't charge at work would fit that description.

I'm about 2 years from being able to charge at home using excess solar (during 9ish months of the year, anyway) almost exclusively. That, plus not needing nearly as many service appointments, is going to save me enough on running costs to cover about 1/2 of the car payment on the electric car I'll get (based on current prices, solar wattage / sqft, and my own driving habits). Its a very privileged position to be in.
