Yet another poll finds that by and large Americans still don’t really want to buy electric vehicles.
According to a new AP-NORC poll only four in ten say they are likely to buy an EV. The poll also found that 46 percent said that they aren’t interested in buying an EV at all.
The poll also found that only 13 percent of adults said they or someone in their household owns of leases a hybrid, and that only nine percent own of lease an EV.
Per the Associated Press:
Younger people are more open to eventually purchasing an EV than older adults. More than half of those under 45 say they are at least “somewhat” likely to consider an EV purchase. About 32% of those over 45 are somewhat likely to buy an EV, the poll shows.
But only 21% of U.S. adults say they are “very” or “extremely” likely to buy an EV for their next car, according to the poll, and 21% call it somewhat likely. Worries about cost are widespread, as are other practical concerns.
The fact is, EVs are not popular and they are getting less popular all the time. And for good reason.
They are too expensive, they don’t save anyone any real money, they have no resale value, and they aren’t even as environmentally friendly as supports like to claim they are.
