Going electric in Maryland means no gas, no anxiety, no panic at the pump

The panic at the pump caused by the Colonial Pipeline hack might have been brief, but it reminded Americans of a certain age of the unpleasant gasoline shortages of the 1970s. It also gave motorists in Maryland and at least 10 other states a dose of something we already have in abundant supply — anxiety. But I have a hunch it did some good, too. The panic probably pushed people who’ve been thinking about buying an electric car to automotive websites to see what’s going on.
