Living in 2024 is Realizing EVs can be Affordable with J.D. Power

 

Episode 105

Kristen Richter, Senior Manager EV Practice at J.D. Power is on the show today to talk about the Automotive News article that dropped last week titled, “Electric cars cost less than similar gas cars over 5 years.” Despite high sticker prices, EVs had a cost advantage over gasoline counterparts in 48 states, according to J.D. Power. And yes, for the record, everyone lost their minds over this article (just go check out the comment sections on LinkedIn and X), but why is everyone so… skeptical? Press play to hear Kristen tell the real story behind the data. Ahem.. we’re looking at you Jersey and Mississippi!
