Electric vehicles (EVs) are currently more affordable to own and operate than traditional gas-powered cars, with used EVs offering particularly good deals. This cost advantage could become even more significant if gasoline prices rise. Recently, oil prices have increased following a U.S. attack on Iran, leading to a rise in gas prices. The future of these prices is uncertain and depends on factors like the duration of the conflict, disruptions in energy trade, and the rate at which the current oil surplus is used up. If the situation continues for weeks or months, persistently high gas prices might encourage more consumers to switch to EVs. This shift could have a lasting impact on the automotive market and consumer choices.
