Coltura Data Showcases Gasoline Spending in Key Congressional Districts

With President Trump and many in Congress calling for the rollback or elimination of electric vehicle incentives, Coltura released analyses of gasoline spending and the opportunities for higher mileage drivers to save thousands of dollars by switching to an EV.

For many rural drivers, contractors, and long-distance commuters, gasoline costs are more than $500 a month and eat up an astounding 15% or more of their paycheck.

Federal EV tax credits help make this possible. Contrary to the prevailing narrative, current EV tax credits don’t benefit the most wealthy coastal elites – they make too much to qualify. The biggest potential beneficiaries of the consumer tax credits for new and used EVs are the backbone of America– contractors driving 150 miles daily between job sites, rural drivers, tradespeople, and working families who live where housing is more affordable but the jobs are further away.

Helping working families make the switch to new and used EVs is the best shot for many to escape gasoline’s decades-long strain on their household finances.

By making EVs more affordable, the EV tax credit is people’s ticket out of lifelong, costly gasoline dependence. Switching to an electric vehicle could put over $4,000 annually back in the pockets of families burning the most gas– that's real money for groceries, healthcare, or their kids' education. But if the credit disappears, so does working families’ ability to access those savings. Studies show axing the credit could cause EV sales to plummet by nearly 30%. Those declining EV sales would hurt consumers as well as facilities making EVs and their components.
