I think in the beginning of this whole climate change panic people were of the mindset that it was the oil companies that were going to take the hit for combating climate change and we would just move on to EV's but it's not nearly that simple as it's going to cost everyone a lot of money and sacrifices.

I agree with your point, but that sounds high. I installed a new, dedicated 100A panel in my garage, along with the 14-50 plug, and the total was about $2,500. The plug alone was only like $350, or something around there.
And there is a $1,500 rebate available if you do it.
