This is my tactic too. I usually stay quiet when coworkers complain about gas prices just because I don't want to rub it in. Everyone knows I drive an EV because I wrote an internal blog post about it. I let people come to me with questions and I answer honestly. I try to make it clear that it's not the car for everyone, but someday it can be. There are two people I work with who seem to be actively resistant towards me however. I don't really understand why. This one guy makes comments like "oh you're the one who hates oil" and once when I was getting on the elevator with him and other people, he said "no electric car drivers. gas only!" I'm more confused than anything. Lke, who loves oil and paying for gas? And when have I ever said anything to anyone about the car they drive? And why am I on some other "team" because I drive electric? I just say "hey, if you like paying all that money for gas, go right ahead!" He has a long commute, drives a BMW, and only gets sh*tty MPG. So I'm like, dude, you made your choice. But whatever, if people want to throw their money away, that's their decision. This other FB "friend" assumes I'm some super environmentalist (environmental reasons are not the main reasons why I actually bought the car) and he made some snotty comments on my FB page about how EVs will drain the world of its fossil fuels and they're not really that great for the environment. I never said they were! But they're much better than regular cars obvs. But he should talk because he drives a BMW too!
