The percentage of Americans who own an electric vehicle (EV) has risen from 4% to 7% in the past year, according to a new poll. However, the number of people seriously considering buying an EV has decreased from 12% to 9%. Additionally, nearly half of those surveyed have no plans to purchase an EV. These findings present both good and bad news for the auto industry and government departments pushing for electric vehicle adoption.
Number of Americans that own an EV has climbed from 4 to 7 percent in a year But number seriously considering buying one fell from 12 to 9 percent Proportion not planning on buying an EV now stands at 48 percent For EV proponents in the auto industry and in government departments trying to hurry up our conversions to electric power, there’s a little good news and a lot of bad news in new poll figures from Gallup. The good is that more Americans than ever before say they own an EV.
But most worrying of all for anyone tooling up for a huge EV or battery factory, the proportion of U.S. drivers who say they have no intention of buying an electric car, truck or SUV in future has increased from 41 to 48 percent. It probably won’t come as much of a surprise to learn that there’s more to the numbers than that, and that ownership and ownership intentions varies wildly depending on the polled person’s age, income and political leanings.
