Well, after many years of legislation and improvements in the EV industry, the initial cost of getting an electric car is still quite high. And now, we&#8217;re seeing that their prices might just put them in the luxury vehicle range! So what&#8217;s happening with Electric Vehicle prices? Are they in the same range as luxury vehicle prices? Here are the facts.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Even though EVs have been in the market for a long time, starting costs of most models have been higher than gas-powered variants. But in recent months, the price differences have been higher than ever. So it is safe to say that <strong>EV costs have reached closer to the average price of a luxury car<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.way.com\/auto-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/EV-Cars-Insurance.png\" alt=\"EV Cars Insurance\" width=\"794\" height=\"294\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But it was not so a few years ago.

Last year&#8217;s sales trends show that most new EV buyers spend more than $50,000 on an electric vehicle. This stands true for around 30% of recent sales in the electric car market.<\/p>\n<p>The average cost of getting a car, gas or otherwise, has inflated to nearly $48,043. But at the same time, the average electric vehicle cost is almost $67,000. Even with federal tax credits, this is just too much for specific segments of buyers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_%E2%80%98fueled_the_increase_in_the_price_of_electric_vehicles\"><\/span>What &#8216;fueled&#8217; the increase in the price of electric vehicles?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_calm_before_the_storm\"><\/span>The calm before the storm<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Ever since the pandemic hit major economies around the world, most commodities saw an increase in costs. So, as expected, fuel prices all over the globe saw a sudden increase, especially during the start of 2022. The Russia-Ukraine conflict has also played a role in this sudden upsurge.<\/p>\n<p>The cost of refining crude oil was going up so was the demand for oil after the pandemic. As a result, many refineries were shut down in the last few years, and the new ones could not satisfy the demands of the market. This fuel cost surge led to more Americans switching from gas-powered cars to EV models.<\/p>\n<p>The tax credit for electric cars has also encouraged buyers to switch from fuel to electric vehicles. A maximum tax credit of $7,500 was given for new EV car purchases. These credit amounts vary for different cars depending on the model, electric motor (fully EV or PHEV), model year, and a few other factors.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/electric-vehicle-price-stock-prices.jpg\" alt=\"electric vehicle price stock prices\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"In_the_eye_of_the_storm\"><\/span>In the eye of the storm<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>So, what happened to the fuel prices was the reason for a record number of EV sales during the first quarter of 2022. But slowly and steadily, the fuel prices started to go down, and some buyers lost interest in their electric counterparts.<\/p>\n<p>But there are a few other catalysts to this scenario. For beginners, manufacturers are struggling to satisfy their battery requirements. Shortages of batteries can be traced back to the deficiency of semiconductors and minerals like Lithium. Lithium is a large part of battery packs that powers every electric vehicle.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_latest_changes_in_electric_vehicle_prices\"><\/span>What are the latest changes in electric vehicle prices?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Major manufacturers like <a href=\" https:\/\/dev.way.com\/blog\/market-share-of-bev-companies-mid-2022\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tesla<\/a>, Rivian, and Ford have increased starting prices of most models. For example, Tesla Model 3, which is the most sold electric car in the world, was introduced as an affordable model by the company. As a result, the cheapest variant of the Model 3, the &#8216;Standard Range,&#8217; is now priced at $46,990. In 2021, the starting price of this same variant was $38,000.<\/p>\n<p>Prices of both <a href=\" https:\/\/dev.way.com\/blog\/rivian-r1t-all-you-need-to-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">R1T pickup<\/a> and R1S SUV of Rivian have jumped to 79,500 and $84,500, respectively. This accounts for a straight 18%-21% rise compared to previous costs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/electric-vehicle-prices-June-2022.jpg\" alt=\"electric vehicle prices June 2022\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Despite the considerable interest in electric vehicles, manufacturers are not able to meet the demand. So most of them are focussing on their flagship models to hit the same profit margin. But for a majority of low or middle-class buyers, the new average cost of $67,000 is too much.<\/p>\n<p>But there is some good news as companies have decided to sell to middle-class buyers. For example, GM has agreed to reduce the prices of both the Chevrolet Bolt and Bolt EUV by $6000. Similarly, they have decided to sell their upcoming 2023 models- Blazer and Equinox, at much a lower price segment.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_electric_vehicle_prices_compare_to_luxury_car_prices\"><\/span>How do electric vehicle prices compare to luxury car prices?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Luxury cars sold in the United States go for an average price of $74,032, according to data from June 2022. But since inflation is looming, this will go higher in the coming months. There are different segments in the luxury market, from the entry-level (80,000-149,000) to the top-end (greater than $500,000).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/electric-vehicle-2022-price.jpg\" alt=\"electric vehicle 2022 price\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The raw material costs for EVs are also expected to rise in the near future. So it is possible that we might see electric vehicle prices get much closer to the luxury costs. But the new Inflation Reduction Act is expected to give middle-class buyers get some relief.<\/p>\n<p>According to the act, the $7,500 tax credit will continue, and the eligibility criteria for 200,000 vehicles will be scrapped. This means the tax credits for Tesla and GM models once again. Besides, the highlight was a tax credit of up to $4,000 for used EVs. As a result, the used electric vehicles market will also be subject to a massive upscaling in the next five years.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_electric_cars_be_cheaper_in_the_coming_future\"><\/span>Will electric cars be cheaper in the coming future?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In general, it is expensive to build an electric vehicle. Apart from the issue mentioned before, the technology under use is also not easy to implement. Despite this, many new players are entering into EV manufacturing, and research for better battery technology is ongoing.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">See Also: <a href=\" https:\/\/dev.way.com\/blog\/federal-tax-credit-for-electric-cars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Federal Tax Credits for Electric Cars in the United States<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>Tesla may be the first to do that, but as innovations are happening in vehicle design, we can expect the production costs to go down. But it will take a long time for such upgrades to reach the lower-priced EVs.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, the charging infrastructure must become more popular across the country. Most people have to go far to find a charging point. Likewise, most house garages and driveways have to be equipped with necessary changes to accommodate an electric vehicle.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wrapping_Up\"><\/span>Wrapping Up<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Most buyers are looking to switch to EVs because of the fluctuating gas prices and to reduce emissions. The US President has also chipped in with steps to reduce pollution and encourage EV sales. The US target is to make sure 50% of new car sales in 2030 should be EV.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.way.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/electric-vehicle-price.jpg\" alt=\"electric vehicle price\" width=\"640\" height=\"385\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If the current crisis continues, that goal will be achieved much later. Also, the average price of electric vehicles will go into the 80,000&#8217;s for which you can get an entry-level luxury car. Despite the initial investment, the operational costs of an electric vehicle are still low compared to gas-powered cars.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Here&#8217;s more info on <a tabindex=\"-1\" title=\"https:\/\/www.way.com\/airport-parking\" href=\"https:\/\/www.way.com\/airport-parking\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Link top-rated airport parking\">top-rated airport parking<\/a>,\u00a0<a tabindex=\"-1\" title=\"https:\/\/www.way.com\/cities\" href=\"https:\/\/www.way.com\/cities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Link the best parking spots in your city\">the best parking spots in your city<\/a>, affordable\u00a0<a tabindex=\"-1\" title=\"https:\/\/www.way.com\/auto-insurance\" href=\"https:\/\/www.way.com\/auto-insurance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Link auto insurance\">auto insurance<\/a>, easy\u00a0<a tabindex=\"-1\" title=\"https:\/\/www.way.com\/auto-refinance\" href=\"https:\/\/www.way.com\/auto-refinance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Link auto refinance\">auto refinance<\/a>,\u00a0and\u00a0<a tabindex=\"-1\" title=\"https:\/\/www.way.com\/car-wash-near-me\" href=\"https:\/\/www.way.com\/car-wash-near-me\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Link high-quality car washes near you\">high-quality car washes near you<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A decade ago, when electric vehicles were slowly carving their niche in the automotive market, their prices were high.
