# Gas Prices Have Climbed Over 40%. EVs Are Back In The Conversation ## Метаданные - **Канал:** CNBC - **YouTube:** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BJAjYjVAVo - **Дата:** 20.05.2026 - **Длительность:** 2:49 - **Просмотры:** 12,057 ## Описание Edmunds trade-in data showed a 5% jump in people trading gas cars for new and used EVs for the first 4 months of 2026. The rise has happened as gas prices have climbed 40% since April 2025, according to AAA. Also, an increasing number of EV owners shopping for a new car are going right back for another EV. But it is primarily affecting customers already in the market for a new car. High car prices and interest rates are still keeping many shoppers away from dealer lots, even if gas prices are high. That could change if fuel costs stay elevated or rise further.

Experts Say It's Not That Simple ## Содержание ### [0:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BJAjYjVAVo) Segment 1 (00:00 - 02:00) Spiking fuel prices across the US have put the spotlight back on EV's interest in other parts of the world, such as in Europe, has jumped. But in the US it's a little early to tell. Data from Edmunds shows that in April, more customers did trade in their gas cars for EVs, both in the new and used market. There's also a rising number of repeat EV customers. The increase was about 5% overall, popular segments such as small and midsize SUVs saw the biggest jumps. Edmunds senior director of insights Ivan Drury told me that the increase is significant, but it's not immense. It's not like we're seeing an influx of people with like three year old cars saying, I got to get an EV. This gas prices are killing me. I don't care what it costs, like things like that. Definitely not yet. Edmunds data from dealerships shows that EVs are still among the vehicles with the best financing offers. Erin Keating, an analyst for Cox Automotive, told me that data from Cox's sites like AutoTrader and Kelley Blue Book indicate that some buyers are at least showing some interest in EVs when they shop. They were already in market. They're considering prices are going up. Why the heck not look at EV vehicles that are available. It's important to separate new EVs from used ones. The used market has seen a surge in sales. A lot more EVs are coming into the used market right now. Most of those vehicles are coming off of lease. One of the reasons for this is that the federal tax credits came with a loophole that allowed EVs made outside the US to still get the credit if the buyer leased them. So there is a lot more supply and prices are lower. But in the new market, overall transaction prices and interest rates are still quite high and gas prices are probably not hurting customers enough to spur everyone to go out and trade in their cars for a new EV if they don't need to. Why would someone take on a new car payment when they don't have to, unless they're in the upper end of the K shape, and it's no big deal to them? And you know, why not? In addition, all of the usual cognitive and behavioral barriers to EVs still exis: the concerns about charging times and charging infrastructure. Those factors haven't gone away simply because gas prices have gone up. But industry analysts say these unexpectedly high fuel prices are bringing EVs back into the public discussion. Just months after the tax credits were removed and automakers started announcing multibillion dollar EV investment writedowns and pivots back to gas vehicles. The good thing for EVs, I think, in the future, is that this crisis happened right at the proper time, where we were starting to pull back on attention on EVs, because we knew that the credits went away, and this helps them stay in the conversation. --- *Источник: https://ekstraktznaniy.ru/video/51523*
