Electric cars are gaining popularity around the world thanks to people wanting to be early adopters, government incentives and to an increasing extent climbing fuel prices. It’s already cheaper to run an EV than an ICE vehicle in many places around the world and people are clearly more interested in EVs now than they have ever been, although we are still quite far from the tipping point when EVs will rival ICE popularity among new car sales.
Cars.com quantifies this by announcing that in March, it observed a 173 percent increase in the number of searches for electric vehicles in the United States. They looked at February 24, the start of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, through March 25 and compared it to the same time last year.
