We’ve been treated to a number of surveys in recent years that try to get a handle on what motivates or holds back buyers. The latest one comes from the Autolist group, and while it does reveal some new trends, many of the concerns are nothing new. It should be noted that the survey was conducted between May 11 and 18 of this year and that 1,355 respondents, the majority of them American, participated via the group's website.

On the other hand, 12 percent mentioned that a gallon of gas at $6 would be enough to sway them. That's about $2 per litre here, based on current exchange rates.
Among dealerships, requests and questions about electric vehicles have exploded since gasoline prices have skyrocketed – and the same is true in our case, as every month the number of questions we receive about EVs continues to climb.
