Recent polling indicates a complex landscape for electric vehicles (EVs) in the United States, with Republicans’ anti-electric car stance potentially becoming a liability. A Gallup poll highlighted a 3% increase in EV ownership from the previous year, now accounting for 8% of U.S. car sales. Despite this growth, there is a growing reluctance among potential buyers, with more individuals now stating they would not consider buying an EV. However, 24% of respondents are very likely to consider an EV for their next purchase, and notably, 83% of 24 to 34 year olds express interest in purchasing an electric vehicle, suggesting a generational divide in attitudes towards EVs.
