Skyrocketing gas prices have led many Americans, like Eric Janney from Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, to switch to electric vehicles (EVs) for their cost efficiency. With gas prices averaging $4.16 per gallon, car-shopping platforms such as Cars.com and Edmunds report a resurgence in EV interest, nearly matching levels seen before the expiration of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit last September. Used EV sales surged 12% in the first quarter of 2023, as consumers are drawn to lower maintenance costs and the potential for cheaper fuel. However, despite this renewed interest, new EV sales remain low, with electric models comprising only 6.2% of new car sales in March, up slightly from 6% in February. Automakers like Toyota and Hyundai are responding by introducing new electric models, with Toyota's bZ crossover becoming a top-selling EV after Tesla's offerings. While the market shows signs of stabilizing, the shift towards larger vehicles continues to dominate consumer preferences.
