AAA Study Reveals Driving Is Getting Cheaper With EVs Trailing In Every Category

Between inflation, tariffs, and an assortment of other factors, cars have gotten significantly more expensive. However, buyers are finding some unlikely relief as AAA says the total cost of owning and operating a new vehicle has fallen by $719 compared to 2024.

 

That’s a pretty significant decline and it brings the total price tag to $11,577, which equates to roughly $965 per month. While that’s still pretty steep, it represents a drop of nearly 6%.
