A new AAA survey finds the price of new car ownership continues to climb. Wisconsin AAA spokesman Nick Jarmusz says this year’s Your Driving Cost study reveals the total cost to own and operate a new vehicle is just over $12,000. Jarmusz says the leading costs are finance charges and depreciation. When shopping for a new car Jarmusz says EVs have the second-highest total ownership costs. Hybrid vehicles have the second lowest total ownership costs behind small sedans.
