B) Electric-car manufacturers have managed to reduce production costs despite an increase in some raw material prices.
C) Improvements in aerodynamics have made regular gas-powered cars more efficient to operate.
D) Relative to the number of gas-powered cars, there are very few electric cars on the road today.
