Indeed it would.

Keep in mind that the current massive dip in gas prices is temporary and only caused by COVID causing people to drive less. Once COVID goes away (however long THAT'S gonna take) and people start going out more and taking road trips, prices will return to their $3+.

I bought my Tesla in October. I've had multiple people now ask me "Do you regret buying an EV since gas is so cheap right now?" and I think it's an incredibly short-sighted question.

Besides, if you're buying an EV to save money on gas, then you're either bad at math, or you drive over 1,000 miles per week, because the money savings isn't enough to offset the price difference between an ICE and an EV until you start to reach 200,000 miles or so, where the lower maintenance costs start to also become a factor.
