Electric vehicle drivers are more satisfied with public charging stations than last year , survey finds.

Electric vehicle charging prices vary across states and even cities.

Some states saw higher than 10 percent jumps in public fast-charging prices.

Electricity pricing itself is confusing and is in the midst of changing.

Some 90 percent of electric vehicle drivers have garages, driveways, or other places where they can charge their cars overnight.

The real advantage of owning an electric vehicle is that, while you can only find gas at a gas station, cars can be charged in lots of different locations.

Public chargers today mostly fill in the gaps when EV drivers are on long car trips.
