The episode examines why soaring gasoline prices—driven by geopolitical conflicts and policy choices—make electric vehicles (EVs) a cheaper, cleaner alternative, highlighting that EVs now cost less to operate than gas cars, especially with falling vehicle prices and expanding charging infrastructure. Host Louise and co‑host illustrate the economics with relatable analogies, showing that charging an EV is akin to running a hair dryer and costs about $6 per 100 miles versus $16 for a gasoline car at $4 per gallon.
