A recent survey from TrueCar, Inc. indicates there is growth in consumer interest and willingness to consider an EV as their next vehicle purchase. Key indicators across the board show consumers are becoming more comfortable with EVs as a viable option, and that while fears regarding charging costs and range anxiety still exist, they are lessening, TrueCar says.

“Consumers across the nation are showing a growing acceptance toward considering an EV as their next vehicle purchase,” said Mike Darrow, president and CEO of TrueCar. “Since March 2022, the percentage of consumers reporting they would consider an EV as their next purchase grew from 52% to 59%.”

However, not all areas of the country are as robustly leading the charge toward EVs.

“Our focus on Detroit area consumers showed a lower percentage of people willing to consider EVs as a next purchase,” said Darrow. “This might be attributable to the area’s strong ties to the auto industry and its love of performance vehicles, or could be an indication that the middle of the country lags behind the coasts in its appetite for EVs.”
