Spike in electric car Google searches amid high gas prices
(KYMA, KECY) - If Google searches are any indication, Americans' interest in electric cars reached a record high in March.
The high price of gas is no doubt sparking a lot of the added interest.
But, Splashy TV commercials touting new electric vehicles from BMW and General Motors are also driving the trend.
Automotive analysts point out that although demand may be high, the supply of all-electric cars is currently limited.
Shortages of battery components and computer chips are among the supply chain issues keeping inventories low.
