FTA:
“One Massachusetts resident said their power company, National Grid, jacked up local electricity prices to 44 cents per kilowatt-hour — three times the national average.”

Does not look like residential customers in Massachusetts get a time of use rate like California and Arizona. I was paying 30 cents a kWh in California for off peak and in AZ I pay 14 cents. So it is always cheaper to charge my Tesla than to gas up my Mercedes, because California / Phoenix gasoline is expensive.
I wonder why the Massachusetts government is so anti EV.
Even CA is anti EV compared to AZ.
In CA when you register your EV, to use it in the HOV lanes with a single occupant you have to go through a separate process to pay for and get HOV decals. And if your EV is too old you cannot get them.
Whereas in AZ, EVs have to get the lame sky blue plate, and it lets you use the HOV lanes in Phoenix.
So AZ, a state that was owned by the GOP from 2009 - 2023, loves EV and CA and MA hate EVs. IOW, in AZ the GOP cares about CO2 emissions, smog, and using fuels that fund terrorists and despots from Russia and the middle east, and in CA and MA the Democrat has the opposite view.
Why is that?
