The quick rise in gas prices has some people considering replacing their cars with an electric or hybrid vehicle.

Jeffrey Hindla, of IAG Automotive Group, says they have noticed a lot of customers inquiring online and coming in to look at the different types of cars.

E-vehicles like the Volkswagen ID4 take about four hours for a full charge at a charging station, which costs about $15 to $23 to go 250 miles.

A full tank of gas for many regular vehicles now can hit $75 and up.

AAA Northeast spokesperson Robert Sinclair Jr. says there are not enough charging stations, especially on Long Island.

"There's a distinct lack of charging infrastructure to make electric vehicles viable to the point where they would be an alternative to gasoline-powered vehicles," n says.

President Joe Biden recently signed an infrastructure bill that provides $5 billion for states to build more e-vehicle charging stations.

Dealership managers, however, says it's hard to get an electric vehicle now because of supply chain issues.

Some people interested in e-cars could be places on a three-month waiting list.

Transportation experts say there is a lot to consider for some consumers before they buy electric and wean themselves off gasoline.

In December 2021, 4.5% of all car sales in America were electric vehicles.
