The price of electric cars is plummeting so fast that they’re now almost as cheap as gas-powered cars.
Since EVs first hit the market, car buyers have had to pay a steep premium if they wanted a car that ran on batteries instead of a gas engine. Two years ago, they would have paid about $17,000 more on average for a new electric car than for a new gas-powered car. But that gap has been rapidly closing, shrinking to $5,000 last month, according to data from Cox Automotive.
That’s an 11 percent markup over the average new-car price last month — roughly similar to the price difference between picking the base model of some cars vs. the performance model that comes with all the bells and whistles.
Tesla is setting electric vehicle prices so low, they’re almost even with gas-powered cars.
