Now maybe.....just maybe I will get one someday for driving around locally.

One other concern I have is that with the continuous increase in the number of EVs out there, you have to wonder if the electricity rates will go up substantially over the next several years.

I won't rule out getting an EV sometime in the future. I admit that I am intrigued. But those concerns will always be on my mind.

I hear you on the first issue. That's why our two cars are 1) a local-only car and 2) a plug-in hybrid.

As for the second, it's possible I suppose, but I think it's unlikely. A ton of capacity is being added to the grid every day (and that's not a recent thing). I don't see any strong reason to suggest it won't be able to keep up, especially since most EV charging happens at night when the grid load is pretty low anyway.
