I read that in October, the UK will increase electric rates to $0.61 per KWH, up from $0.25 just a year ago. The government there caps rates, but so many utilities went bankrupt last year that they raised the cap earlier this year, and are doing it again.

This will raise the charging cost for a Tesla to over 20 cents per mile. That's about what I'm currently paying to fuel my F150, and considerably more than my car or motorcycles. We still pay about $0.15/KWH for electricity here in the US, but Europe is showing us how fast rates can climb when you let a Swedish teenager dictate energy policy.
