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.

- 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.
