The increased adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) can have both positive and negative effects on the economy.
Individuals who can afford EVs can reduce their carbon footprint and enjoy annual savings on fuel and maintenance costs.
Charging stations for EVs can contribute to local business income and create jobs, but costly grid upgrades may be necessary as adoption increases.
A transition to EVs can decrease oil dependence, positively impacting the US economy by reducing reliance on foreign providers and stabilizing oil prices.
