Right now, depending on the area you are in, and if you can afford it, that's actually not bad advice. For Now....
(And of course if you have a garage to park it in and charge at home or at work).
Once things get a bit further down the carbon cult plan for Global Enslavement, the price of electricity will skyrocket and there will be rationing of it and shortages (just look at Europe right now). Then that new mileage tax they are figuring out how to make work will bite your ass hard.
For awhile it's great to have an electric vehicle, but eventually it won't be once the ruling elites get far enough into their plans. You'll be almost as screwed as the folks with the oil based fuel vehicles.
You can also hedge your bets a bit by getting an extended range plug in hybrid, especially if it's one the Feds will give you $7500 for getting & or if your state also offers incentives. But then of course add up how much extra it costs over a straight oil based fuel vehicle of the same amount, and how much driving you will do and see if at say $5 gallon gasoline, the numbers make sense over your expected usage of the vehicle.
If you cannot charge at home or at work, then electric vehicles offer very little to no savings over a mild hybrid oil based fuel powered vehicle.
Drove 9000 miles in the last month (two wranglers) - Glacier, Yellowstone, Ouray - wheeled my jeep and varminted along the way -no way could you do that today in any electric vehicle. Maybe in 10 years. If there is any value in an electric vehicles, they will strip the value out of it by then.
You could've pulled a diesel power generator on a trailer with your electric vehicle charging as needed.
I pay the few cents per gallon to use a CC at the pump. I've seen the type people(?) that hang out in convenience stores.
I had a couple hidden behind the license plate. Probably had one or two on the passenger side...but I learned all about hayfoot, strawfoot in bootcamp.
I had a car with the filler neck under the license plate. Fill it up with 100 octane Chevron out of the White Pump then burn rubber out of the gas station dumping 5 gallons of gas on the road.
At current rate of our BANANA, you will not have the necessary permissions to drive in 10 years.
At about $0.40 per gallon, that was big bucks.
Didn't Mythbusters show that a lit cigarette does't burn hot enough to light gasoline?
Yes, yes they did...

Had some chicks show me and my buddy their tits and like a dumbass, I rearended the car in front of me. Folded the bumper up over the gas cap. Luckily the dude driving the car I hit was high as a kite and didn't want the cops called.
Only gasoline vapors my daddy taught that when I was seven years old I didn’t have to learn about it from some liberals on televisionDidn't Mythbusters show that a lit cigarette does't burn hot enough to light gasoline?

My dad relayed a demonstration he was given by the owner of the 'filling station' in his town growing up. Putting out a lit match in a bucket of gasoline. Just don't try it immediately after pouring the fuel...
Burning brush piles when I was a kid (clearing pastures), we poured a few gallons of diesel onto the stack and put a match to it. No joy. It took a barbecue lighter to get the diesel going.
Gas is high enough as it is. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay more to use a credit card. Besides, the hours I go to gas up there usually isn't anyone in the place.
