Saskatchewan is already charging EV owners -- pun intended -- an annual $150 fee to make up for the loss of gas tax revenues, and in time, other provinces will 100% follow suit with similar policies of their own. I don't see how the electricity itself will be more expensive than the prices we pay for gas, but the various levels of government will most definitely find ways to recoup the revenue they lost when people are charging their cars up instead of filling them up.

This. I was watching videos by some Telsa owners in California fast-charging their Tesla, the cost wasn't far off from a tank of gas.
I was actually quite surprised.
