I subscribe to Consumer Reports and found this interesting:
Electric vehicles (EVs) are becoming increasingly common, with many manufacturers currently offering models that plug in. There are dozens more models expected to hit the market over the next few years. And there's been increasing interest from car shoppers. In 2010, just 1,919 EVs were sold in the U.S. In 2018, sales hit 233,411. A 2019 survey, conducted by Consumer Reports and the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), shows that 63 percent of prospective car buyers in America are interested in electric vehicles.
Overall, 31 percent would consider one for their next purchase, 27 percent would consider one at some point down the road, and 5 percent say they are definitely planning on buying or leasing one for their next vehicle. This last number would mark a big escalation in electric car purchases in the U.S. A growing number of consumers may be interested, but most have had limited experience with electric vehicles, despite that some EVs have been on the market for years, including models from Chevrolet, Ford, Honda, Nissan, and Tesla. And many consumers naturally will have questions about how an electric car might fit into their lives.
