A new AAA survey showed that Americans aren’t yet buying into the whole electric vehicle thing.
The annual survey tracks drivers’ opinions regarding electric and hybrid vehicles- and found that while consumer interest remains steady, consumers are slow to adapt and Americans don’t yet have a solid understanding of electric vehicle performance.
“Electric cars are quickly becoming more common, with more than 200,000 on the road across the country today,” said Mike Hoshaw, vice president of automotive services for AAA East Central. “We believe that there is a gap between interest and purchasing electric vehicles because most Americans aren’t equipped with the full scope of their capabilities and efficiencies.”
Forty million Americans did tell AAA that they would likely consider an electric vehicle for their next car purchase, with millennials leading the pack. People said the leading reasons to go green were concern for the environment and lower long-term costs. Concerns included price and concern that there are not enough places to charge.
