Whatever the reason, it nonetheless seems like higher electricity prices are inbound.

Yeah, that's totally believable. I remember how everyone raved about cheap EV charging a decade ago, how it would save costs etc. And today a commercial fast DC changing is more expensive (per km of range) than an ICE car of the same class and size. And that's with gas prices doubling since 2009 crash. I've just did a quick calculation with today's prices and modern cars in the comparison.
