Gas prices are at an all-time high. Is switching to an electric vehicle the answer? WRTV's Meredith Hackler dives into the accessibility of charging stations in the state.
INDIANAPOLIS — Many Hoosiers are taking a step to the green side by buying an electric vehicle, especially with high prices at the pump.
"I went from paying about $400-600 a month in gas now my electricity bill is about $25-45 dollars more a month and I charge about every other day," Devon Jones, who recently invested in a Tesla said. "Right now we are seeing about 4-5% of vehicles on the roads are EV, but that is growing by about 1% per year,” Scott Manning, the Deputy Chief of Staff at INDOT said."Having a better electric infrastructure and charging stations in the state would make it more appealing to those buying cars that don't have the charging infrastructure that Tesla does," said Jones said.
"There is also the issue of charging stations and how long it takes to charge a battery," Kevin Brinegar, President of Indiana Chamber of Commerce said."That technology is improving but it still takes a while."
