The amount of Americans who are interested in going electric is holding surprisingly strong.
Over a quarter of car shoppers say they are "very likely" to consider an EV, a number that's increased as gas prices have risen in the U.S.
The most stubborn EV holdouts need tons of chargers and at least 500 miles of range.
A funny thing is happening in the electric vehicle world right now. Tax credits are gone. Car companies are backtracking. New electric car sales are way, way down. Yet the number of American car shoppers who are interested in going electric is holding strong.
“I'm honestly a bit surprised where consideration is at following the discontinuation of the federal tax credit,” Brent Gruber, executive director of the EV practice at JD Power, told me. “In that time, we've seen that the interest hasn't diminished, and in many cases, it's increased.”
