Nearly half of the new cars at Scranton Chevrolet in Norwich, Connecticut, are electric due to manufacturer discounts. The company's general manager, Matthew Scrantan, said that a new Chevy Equinox, which normally costs $43,000, has over $18,000 worth of discounts due to its electricity. He also noted that charging stations are more common and lenders are more forgiving for electric vehicle buyers. The increase in interest in electric vehicles is attributed to high gas prices.
