The melting planet and cost of gas are driving demand, but supply chain problems have meant low supply, high prices.
A year and a half ago, my conscience got to me, so I went shopping for an electric car.
So instead of going all electric, I decided to wait for better options and take a half-step toward cleaner energy in the interim. I leased a plug-in hybrid. Then there was the price of gas, which topped $6 a gallon and made me wish I’d gone all electric. On top of that, state subsidies and federal tax credits were becoming available to accelerate the conversion away from fossil fuels.
David Eagle, an independent EV broker, said his business built gradually, and then came the pandemic. If I want more options and lower prices, Eagle said, it might be best to hold on to my Kia until the lease runs out in 18 months.
