Do people actually use electric cars?
With gas prices climbing every day, I’m getting so tired of spending my hard-earned money filling up my tank. Still, switching to an electric car seems like a big change, and I don’t know anyone personally who drives one. Do people actually use electric cars?

You’re right to observe that in spite of all the hype around them,
electric cars
are still somewhat of a novelty for the average American consumer. Electric car sales make up a pretty small percentage of the overall new car sales
, but when you compare past sales, the year-over-year growth of the electric car industry is actually pretty impressive. According to an article in
Reuters
, all-electric cars represented a mere 3% of total car sales, but the 434,879 sold were an 83% increase from the previous year. In early 2022, the Biden administration announced plans for a total of $7.5 billion to go towards building a nationwide network of 500,000 electric vehicle chargers. Even if you’re not seeing many electric cars on the road now, massive infrastructure investments like this one ensure that they will be a part of the future.
If electric cars are the future of the automotive industry,
