I don't think this is true. I live in Canada and the worst costs involved in charging my Tesla at a supercharger are maybe $20 for a full 'tank' but compared with $100+ for a gas car given gas prices here there's no way this is true. Here in BC there's a ton of charging competition too, so you can find far cheaper than superchargers—plenty of places where I live offer free fast charging right now if you look for them.

Also, most of the time you're charging at home. In BC, electricity prices are $0.09/kWh... so dirt cheap.

BC hydro does not reflect the whole country. In NB we pay close to $.14/kWh, and as I said that's going up this year, and the next. PEI and NS are even more, so already today we are seeing ~$40 a charge. That's with just a handful of people driving EVs. Our province needs another power station, we sell a lot of power to Maine.

Across the border in Maine it's ~.36/kWh which is getting close to your $100 a charge, granted Maine is not Canada.

As electricity demand goes up, gas demand will go down and according to economics it will just get cheaper.

I don't know what gas prices are like in Canada, but I'd expect about $40 to fill a car of Tesla size in the US. (from empty it might get up to $50). Yes gas is more, but not that much more.

I also expect most people are charging at home for much lower electric rates.

20USD for 50 kWh of electricity us more expansive than gasoline.

1USD per 10 kWh of gasoline. Efficiency about lets say 33%.
