MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Falling gas prices haven’t hurt the demand for all-electric vehicles, with more than 200,000 of them on America’s highways.
That represents a jump of roughly 500 percent over the past two years, according to Environment Minnesota. The tide’s beginning to turn as technology improves and prices come down.
