Tesla has become a household name in the US, and for many people that is the first brand that comes to mind when Electric Vehicles are mentioned. With the drastic increase in gasoline and diesel prices in 2022, interest in alternative transportation options such as electric vehicles is growing. Between August 2021 and August 2022, gasoline prices in the US were up by 25.6% while electricity prices increased by 15.8%. This means electric vehicle owners have been impacted less by energy price inflation, especially those who also generate their own power with solar panels.
