Had to convert from litres to gallons as well as from Euro to USD. Either way, the much higher taxes on fuel in Europe is the major reason why EV are more popular there than here.

No US politician is going to advocate for $7 per gallon gasoline. In fact when it gets close to 4 a gallon the oil companies are accused of "gouging". Politicians want cheap gas prices, but act surprised when people bypass EV for ICE vehicles that fit their needs/wants.
