    It isn’t when you have an EV. I just had this conversation with my wife a few days ago. My EV is $22/mo in electricity with my commute. My old gas car was $150/mo at best. What the comic leaves out is the cost of insurance on the EV being about $150/mo and my old car was dirt cheap so it’s almost a wash. The EV is a hell of a lot more fun to drive though.

      I think they meant literally, “it cost” as in past tense. If you’re referring to a specific, previous event, then it makes grammatical sense. But it sounds like he’s comparing the cars generally, so it sounds more appropriate to say “it costs”
