Same here.  Plus I have one truck, 3 tractors and a skid steer that need diesel to run.  The overhead to replace those tools is too much for me to handle.  I also have a John Deere Gator and a Polaris Ranger that run on gasoline.  Again, replacing those with electrical versions is out of the question.

I commute daily 45 miles or so each way for my "regular" job.  If I had to charge an EV running the same distance my electric bill would go up by as much or more as my regular fuel bill.
