"The national average gas price hit $4.09 per gallon this week — up 33% from a
year ago — as yet another oil crisis hammers American drivers. But this time,
the math on switching to electric is so overwhelmingly clear that millions of
drivers are doing the calculation and reaching the same conclusion: they can’t
afford
not to drive electric.
Electrified vehicle consideration jumped to 23.8% of all car shopper research
activity in mid-March, the highest weekly level of 2026, according to Edmunds
data. Online searches for EVs surged 17% in a single week as gas prices
spiked."
