Just 4% of US drivers currently own an EV, according to a new Gallup poll, while another 12% said they are 'seriously considering' purchasing one. Rates of EV ownership recorded in the survey were slightly higher among Democrats, at 6%.
Many United States drivers are not ready to swap out their gas-powered cars for an electric vehicle just yet, according to a new Gallup survey — despite the billions of dollars the Biden administration has poured into tax credit programs and charging infrastructure to help accelerate the rate of EV adoption.
Other major demographic predictors in the survey were age, income, and location. Drivers between the ages of 35-54 were the most likely to be seriously considering purchasing an EV, at 18%, the poll found, compared to just 7% of older respondents and 11% of voters between the ages of 18-34.
Many would-be EV buyers remain hesitant to make the switch due to logistical hurdles — citing concerns over reliability, range anxieties, and a lack of access to public charging infrastructure. Reporting an outage at a public charging station can also be difficult — as can accessing up-to-date information about where to find reliable chargers.
The U.S. transportation sector accounts for 27% of the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions, meaning that electrifying the fleet is key if the U.S. hopes to deliver on its goals of fighting climate change and meeting its target set under the Paris Agreement.
