this week, and it reveals both pitfalls and promise for purveyors of electric vehicles. The good news? Range anxiety, once the bugbear of mainstream thought about EVs, is no longer the top concern for shoppers. The bad news? Range anxiety is now second, cited by 44 percent of the 1350 car shoppers Autolist surveyed in April and May, following the high price of EVs and questions about infrastructure .
"These are the same top three concerns that we saw in 2019 and again in 2021," Autolist CEO Corey Lydstone said in a statement."While sales of EVs are slowly improving as more compelling models hit the market, consumers' impressions of electric vehicles aren't improving."While tax credits are available for some EV buyers, high up-front purchase prices are n0w the key hurdle for EV adoption in Autolist's findings.
Putting Autolist's findings into context with other EV surveys is worthwhile. Earlier this month, KBB released its
If I were Toyota I’d make a car that does 0-60 in 2 seconds,has a range of 50 miles and is a PHEV . All the ingredients of a winner for every American. Also the feds need to remove the 200k limit on rebate.
If there was an EV 6MT option, I'd consider it.
I saw a Camaro the other day blow a Tesla p series away on the freeway .. the Tesla looked like it was pulling away pretty good initially then ran out of steam .. the Camaro was literally on his ass ...
What confuses me is I hear of the ev Revolution but I really don’t see that many. I see way more new 2022 gas cars than EVs
Nice try. Almost all EVs are sold out with long waiting lists. The entire auto industry is going all electric, this was decided a few yrs ago. There are 100+ EV models in the pipeline. First gas car bans start in 2025, Germany, UK, India etc by 2030.
No transmissions make for a boring drive. Almost all of them don't fit in my garage also so how do I charge it?
Imagine that. EV FUD from Car and Denier, the legacy auto rag where it only matters if the car has an exhaust pipe. Or two. Or preferably four—that really turns 'em on.
This is also much more fun…
YES, if EV cars were the price of like a Ford Ecosport then it would be viable. Just put smaller energy efficient e-motors and smaller batteries and cheap interior all for cost saving. Stop trying to make them look futuristic with fancy expensive screens.
Also they're boring to drive. They feel very much like a soulless appliance
