Electric Vehicles: Combatting Prices at the Pump

Recently, gas prices have soared to record highs. According to the American Automobile Association, the average cost per gallon in May 2022 is the highest ever recorded in US history. An especially interesting figure when you consider the previous record high was recorded in July of 2008. Costs have only increased since May, so every month consumers are paying a new record price for gas. And while we can expect prices to stabilize at some point, we can anticipate uncertainty around gas prices for the foreseeable future.  

A lot of people are feeling the impact of these high gas prices, but unlike previous periods of increased fuel prices, consumers and car owners today have an answer — electric vehicles. 

Consumers and car companies alike understand that the future is in electric vehicles.

We’ve seen increased production and investment by manufacturers to make EVs more affordable and accessible, and we’ve also seen a stark increase in interest related to the purchasing of EVs.

Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and Fiat are all looking to invest and grow their electric vehicle portfolios. With choices between hybrids and outright electric vehicles spanning those respective brands, you’re likely to find the perfect car or truck that will save you money at the pump. Mount Airy Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and Fiat is one of the best dealers for those brands, so if the price of gas has become too much, look at reaching out to a qualified sales representative and invest in an electric vehicle.

And while the easiest way to avoid pain at the gas pump and the pressure of fluctuating gas prices is to get your hands on a new electric vehicle, you may be surprised just what an EV can do in the long run. Yes, it’ll save you money, help the environment, and give you a better ride, but it’ll also do wonders for the growing gas prices. Inflation has been the driver behind these record gas rates and having to buy less at the pump is one of the best ways to drive the price of gas down. The tool to getting inflation in check is buying less and your electric or hybrid vehicle will cause you to do just that. 

So, instead of waiting with bated breath for gas prices to figure themselves out, take the initiative and invest in an electric vehicle. You’ll immediately start saving money with gas prices and begin fighting the inflation that’s caused the problem in the first place.
