electric vehicles only signAlthough the Biden administration is using tax credits and emissions regulations to try to compel more Americans to buy electric cars, a new poll shows that only 4% of Americans own an electric vehicle (EV) and only 12% are “seriously considering” buying one.
On the other hand, 43% said they might consider buying an EV sometime in the future and 41% unequivocally said they would not buy one. [emphasis, links added]
“Americans’ adoption of electric vehicles is proving to be slow,” said Gallup in reference to its March 1-23 poll.
In addition, the survey found that “While about four in 10 U.S. adults think using EVs helps address climate change a ‘great deal’ (12%) or a ‘fair amount’ (27%), roughly six in 10 believe it helps ‘only a little’ (35%) or ‘not at all’ (26%). [Total: 61%]”
