Electric cars are not more expensive than gasoline or diesel cars. Major brands that manufacture electric cars understand that price is a determining factor in purchasing decisions, which is why they strive to offer attractive prices. Additionally, government policies seem to be aimed at boosting the demand for electric cars through the publication of subsidies for the purchase of electric vehicles and assistance for the purchase of charging points for electric cars.
