I think most ICE drivers are unhappy with filling up at gas station due to rising cost of gas. I saw on the news that probably more than 1/2 of ice drivers were unhappy about filling up due to rising energy cost. Some reason quoted "gas is just to expensive", "it is costing over $100 to fill up","I can't afford these prices"I believe the decrease is real simply because the reason stated is obvious and the real garbage part is taking the headline in a vacuum as most places will present it. People aren't unhappy with home charging, they are unhappy with increased energy costs. But that isn't exciting or click-bait worthy, so you say that EV owners aren't happy with home charging and get attention.
I absolutely believe that there are those with EVs that see increased electric bills and have concerns, I am not saying nobody is maybe a bit more discouraged, but it isn't the act of home charging that is their issue. Also I bet if those people went back to paying for gas they would quickly remember why a bit of electric cost is worth it. The time/value of not driving to a gas station alone covers it for me.
This just feels like those articles that blamed millennials for killing some restaurant or whatever, and leaving out the part where other age demographics were also not going there as much because they increased their prices and lowered quality. But that isn't as grabby of a headline.
