Nolte: Gallup Poll Shows Growing Backlash Against Electric Vehicles

from Gallup shows that public support for transitioning to electric vehicles has dropped by quite a lot since 2023.“Seven percent of Americans, up from 4% a year ago, report that they own an electric vehicle,” reports Gallup.“That increase is matched by an equal decline in the percentage saying they are seriously considering buying one, from 12% to 9%.”

First, there’s the upfront cost to purchase an EV. Maintenance can cost a lot more if you need a repair. The weight of an EV eats through tires faster, and tires are not cheap. Finally, there’s the risk and inconvenience. You always have to worry about finding a charging station, then you have to worry if the station is operable, then you have to worry if there’s a line, then you have to wait around for about an hour for your vehicle to charge.

Nevertheless, and by design, my life is as routine as it gets, but over the weekend, I had to drive seven hours to and fro for an appearance on. The drive was exhausting enough without having to worry about finding a charging station. The drive was long enough without having to wait for a charge.
