Nevertheless, the cost per gallon of gasoline at which it would become more economical to operate an electric car than a regular gas-powered car has remained unchanged.
Which of the following, if true, would do the most to explain why electric cars have become cheaper to operate but break-even point between electric and gas cars has not changed?
A) The price per gallon of gasoline has dropped by 25% over the last five years.
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.
E) When the price of gasoline rises, more people are willing to take public transportation to work.
