Tesla's stock rose 11.25%, trading at $391.89, while BYD's shares fell over 5.71% to HK$100.70.

The rise in gas prices, now averaging over $4.40 per gallon, is driving increased interest in electric vehicles (EVs). College student Matthew Fuller switched to a used Nissan Leaf, saving significantly on fuel costs compared to his previous gas-powered car. EV sales surged in March, with new sales up 20% and used sales up 54% from February, despite the expiration of federal tax credits. Many potential buyers are now exploring EV options due to high gas prices, leading to a notable increase in inquiries about EVs and charging solutions.

- Sales of new EVs surged 20% and used EVs increased by 54% from February to March, indicating a growing interest despite the lack of tax incentives previously offered.  
- While some EV owners report significant savings on fuel, the higher upfront costs of EVs mean it may take years to break even compared to gas-powered vehicles.
