Buying a new electric car has not been a popular activity recently. New EV sales have simply not been what automakers hoped they would be, and, as a result, many are rolling back on ambitious plans to electrify their lineups. Take, for example, Acura killing off the RSX. The removal of tax credits and the scaling back of charging infrastructure by the current US government hasn’t helped things. And yet, with the rise in fuel costs as a result of the situation in the Middle East, buying a car that doesn’t need to be filled up with gas starts to make some sense.
