   I just bought a gas engine car (a hybrid, actually). I'm no longer   
   strictly working from home and have a 150 mile round-trip commute   
   2x/week. It's a long trek in my subcompact electric car with no spare   
   tire and crazy SUV drivers. I'm feeling the pain. $5.09/gallon for my   
   first tank.   
      
   At least I'm getting 43 mpg...   :)   
      
   The EV charging infrastructure isn't ready for prime-time, unless you   
   drive a Tesla. I'd estimate that close to half of the chargers I've   
   tried have been out of service, failed to initiate charging or otherwise   
   failed to charge.
