US interest in electric vehicles surges as gas prices jump amid Iran war
AI Summary
Following a recent US-Israel bombing of Iran and subsequent rise in gasoline prices, American car buyers are showing increased interest in electric vehicles (EVs). The conflict in Iran has disrupted oil supplies, causing US gas prices to reach a near three-year high of $3.90 a gallon. This price surge has prompted a 20% increase in online searches for EV models in the past three weeks, according to CarEdge. Analysts suggest that sustained high gas prices could further drive EV interest. While online research into EVs is up, it remains to be seen if this will translate into increased EV sales, as the US lags behind other countries in EV adoption and charging infrastructure.
