The number of electric vehicles on sale in the U.S. continues to grow.
Switching from gasoline to electricity not only reduces emissions, it can save money on fuel. Electricity and gasoline price data from the US Energy Information Agency: 2016 average residential electricity price $0.107/kWh, 2016 average gasoline price $2.40/gallon. Costs assume 11,350 annual miles driven, 28.6 MPG gasoline efficiency, 0.30 kWh/mile EV efficiency.
