Interesting... Yes, variable electric rates are going to make this coming e-vehicle thing very "interesting", indeed. I just watched a Rivian pickup truck tow test video (BTW pretty crazy, pulling an 8000# trailer it out accelerated an empty Ram hemi) and they recharged at one of those Electrify America charging stations... the price was $0.31 per KWh. I suspect that once EVs are really out there the charging costs will rise such that we'll probably end up paying as much per mile as we do for gas, except maybe at home. But then I also expect utility companies may slap on additional "infrastructure" fees or somesuch. I am currently trying to decide where I will be going for my next vehicle to replace my trusty Tacoma. Good thing I am not in a rush.
