After Trump's decision to attack Iran led to a significant increase in gasoline prices, interest in electric cars among American car buyers skyrocketed. The cost of gasoline in the United States has reached its highest level in nearly three years, with the national average price of gasoline being $3.90 per gallon on Friday. This has led to a surge in interest in electric cars among American drivers. Data from the car purchase platform CarEdge shows that searches for electric cars have increased by 20% since Iran was attacked three weeks ago. It is currently unclear whether this newfound interest in electric cars can be sustained and how it will impact market share. The United States lags behind many other wealthy countries in terms of electric car sales and charging infrastructure. A spending bill passed by the Republicans last year severely affected electric car sales, gradually phasing out incentives for buying clean cars that were put in place during the Biden era.
