GAS CARS CHEAPER THAN EVS? SURE! YOU JUST NEED NEW MATH.

EV Channels Review

This video critically analyzes a study by the Anderson Economic Group that claims fueling gas cars is cheaper than EVs. The presenter, Kate, meticulously deconstructs the study's methodology, highlighting several questionable assumptions and omissions. Key criticisms include the study's narrow focus on fueling costs while ignoring total cost of ownership, its misrepresentation of charging times and home charging prevalence, and its failure to account for external societal costs associated with fossil fuels. Kate argues that the study's "deadhead miles" calculation is particularly flawed, overestimating the time and distance EVs spend charging. Despite the study's attempts to skew the numbers, Kate's "back of the envelope" calculations suggest EVs remain cheaper to fuel. The video concludes that the Anderson study is disingenuous and reflects desperation from the fossil fuel industry, advocating for a future beyond oil and gas.
