\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 los precios de la gasolina son tan altos en 2021?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may be wondering why gas prices are so high right now. There are many factors that contribute to the rising gas prices, starting with higher demand. Now that COVID-19 restrictions are beginning to loosen, more people are traveling regionally and domestically. Global demand for oil has surpassed expectations and gas prices have had to adjust to the newfound demand. Gas traders are also adjusting gas prices according to new export agreements. The U.S. election results are another likely contributor to the rising prices. The Biden administration has been very supportive of the renewable energy industry, pushing for incentives for electric alternatives. This has gas traders adjusting prices because they fear the new administration will inhibit U.S. oil production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In more recent news, a cyberattack on the Colonial Pipeline\u2019s 5.500-mile system caused a massive closure and prevented millions of barrels of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuels from being transported to the East Coast. Shutdowns of this magnitude can drive up gas prices, depending on how long they last.* <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that if you are considering an electric car, you may not have to worry about the rising gas prices. Batteries have you covered, and many manufacturers now offer 8-year\/100,000-mile battery warranties.* Instead of paying the rising gas prices during your road adventure, you can plan to charge at charging station stops in your itinerary. Plugshare* and other online sources can help you find stations near your route.** Don\u2019t worry, charging stations are quickly growing throughout the US. As of February 2021, there are 40,582 charging stations in the US and 97,589 charging outlets. California actually has the most power outlets in the country: 32,000 of them! If you live in California, a road trip inside the state makes a lot of sense. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No se olvide de disfrutar de algunas ventajas para los coches el\u00e9ctricos (EV) en el D\u00eda Nacional del Viaje por Carretera. Algunos destinos tienen plazas de aparcamiento especialmente designadas para los veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos. Esto puede ser muy \u00fatil durante las paradas en los pits. Algunos estados, como California y Utah, cuentan con un programa de calcoman\u00edas para veh\u00edculos de aire limpio (CAV) que le permite un acceso especial al carril de uso compartido. Algunas cadenas de hoteles participantes tambi\u00e9n ofrecen servicio de aparcacoches y recarga gratuita para los veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfCu\u00e1nto dinero puede ahorrarte un coche el\u00e9ctrico?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A study by ConsumerReports* found that EV fuel savings alone can be $4,700 or more during the first seven years of ownership. Additionally, over the lifespan of most electric cars, they could save  you between $6,000-$10,000. Actual savings depend on what gas vehicle you are replacing with an EV. The study also found that maintenance and repair costs on an electric car are lower when compared to a gas vehicle. See how much you could save by switching to an EV by using this savings calculator*. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During your road trip, you may see some great savings when charging. Public charging stations can be free, pay-as-you-go, or subscription-based. Some vehicle manufacturers also provide complimentary public charging at participating locations. For example, if a charging station charges $1.50 per hour to charge on Level 2 (the most common method) and $0.26 for DC fast charging, charging a 40-kWh battery with a 150-mile range would cost $0.08\/mile on Level 2 and $0.09\/mile for DC fast charging. As of the publishing date of this blog, California\u2019s average gas price is $3.73 per gallon*. That means it would cost about $0.14\/mi for a gas car, assuming you are driving a 25MPG gas car. Savings could be even greater if you are using a free charging station or if you are comparing to a higher gas price per gallon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfHasta d\u00f3nde te llevar\u00e1 un coche el\u00e9ctrico?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Es un error pensar que los coches el\u00e9ctricos no permiten recorrer largas distancias. Los avances tecnol\u00f3gicos han hecho posibles y asequibles los viajes por carretera en veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos. Aqu\u00ed tienes algunos veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos con la autonom\u00eda de kil\u00f3metros que puedes esperar con una carga completa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
