Toyota Owners Trade Their Cars for EVs More Than Any Other Brand: Report

Americans are growing interested in switching from ICE-equipped models to EVs, whether new or used. The latest report from used car retailer CarMax says that search volume for EVs has doubled in the last year, spurred on by higher gas prices throughout the country. More car shoppers are now seeing these searches through to the purchase of a used EV, trading in their ICE-equipped cars in the process.

The Porsche 356 is a happy and delicate little car with a body like an upturned bathtub and a friendly goggle-eyed face. Based on the principles espoused by the Volkswagen Beetle, the car by 1965 was rocking a pushrod four-cylinder engine good for 95 hp.
