If you are an electric car advocate, here's what you've got to deal with: Only 31 percent of Americans say they are likely to make an EV their next purchase. The younger folk are more likely to go EV, but even then, most of them say no. Millennials are at 40 percent, Gen Xers at 33, and Baby Boomers at 22.
Income, though, has a lot to do with it. Those with college degrees come in at 47 percent while those with only high school diplomas or less are at 18 percent. Only 40 percent of those with annual incomes below $50,000 are ready to take on EVs.
Republicans? You would ask about them. Only 24 percent of them say they would consider going electric.
Looking at all those figures, it is clear that the price of EVs has got to plummet if EVs are to prevail. The average American isn't rich enough to afford a nice-riding EV.
