Gas Prices a Headache? Not a Problem for EVs! - Veloz
As most Americans know, the price of gas is not something we can control. A single international conflict, refinery outage, or decision from OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) can send costs at the gas pump skyrocketing overnight, forcing families to rearrange budgets just to get to work, school or to the grocery store. But more and more drivers are realizing they can opt out of this cycle altogether. By choosing an EV, they’re choosing electricity as a fuel and costs are not only lower, but also far more predictable. Not to mention, electricity as a fuel is much cleaner and reduces harmful air pollution. Electric vehicles (EVs) already beat gas-powered cars on total cost of ownership in most parts of the U.S. That’s thanks to cheaper “fuel” (electricity), fewer moving parts, and no oil changes—ever. And with gas hovering around $4 a gallon in many states, those day-to-day savings add up fast.
