Are electric cars more expensive than gas cars?
I noticed that electric cars are becoming more popular, but I’m wondering if they’re more expensive than my everyday car. I’d like to know more about the cost of an electric car before I consider buying one. Are electric cars more expensive than gas cars?

Making a new investment, especially a car is a big deal! Electric cars are taking over and becoming the way of the future, and it’s understandable that you’re
concerned about the cost
!- Electric cars tend to have a higher sticker price than gas cars.
- In the long run though, an electric car is typically cheaper to maintain.
- With fuel prices constantly fluctuating it’s generally cheaper to “fuel up” an electric car over a gas car.
- As more auto companies switch to making electric cars, they will become more affordable and hopefully even cheaper than gas cars!
Whether or not you drive an electric car, getting good auto insurance is always a good investment. But how do you know if you’re paying too much for auto insurance? Comparison shopping is a pain with all the phone calls and paperwork.
So, what if there was an app that could do it for you?
