    Are we? I’m looking to buy a car now and I think gas cars make the most sense even now, because the change in the price of gas seems like a relatively small part of the cost of car ownership. A one dollar increase in the cost of a gallon of gas works out to about $300 a year in extra costs for me. That’s not enough to tip the balance towards an electric car.

      EV does not need oil or filter changes, brakes last forever, and it has many less wear parts to break, like the transmission.
