1. I’m glad I bought an EV last year.

2. We fuel up once a month thanks to having a Kei car and everything within 20 minutes of driving and I wfh. But I feel for people who commute daily with driving, so much so, my inlaws just bought a hybrid because they were spending $250USD/month worth of gas.

3. 180円 around my area, and I’m in tears. I have a hybrid, and top-up an average of twice a month

4. Still using High Oct, just hit ¥190 this week. Gunma prefecture. Daily driver with 5km/ l car. Covering 40km per day round trip, V6 engine 😭. Fun times over, will switch to hybrid, not interested in EV, time waster, range anxiety and actually more expensive than gasoline vehicles. New batteries, battery maintained, charging costs, etc

5. Everything going up

6. Are you going to advertise that you own an EV in the reply to every single comment here?

7. Rode my (electric) bike past a gas station today and saw 180yen and almost crashed my bike, lol.
