It's likely going to be a wash in that the money you would pay at the pumps will shift to your electric bill but going electric really isn't about saving consumers money and more about lessening pollution. This is still a lot further off than a lot of people think as The top three selling vehicles in North America by far are pickup trucks. It's not even close. Gasoline still has legs as until full size EV pickup trucks with tow capacities exist and are attainable there will be a sizeable demand in North America as there will be in heavily populated, developing countries where the infrastructure for charging stations will be very slow.
