Americans still not sold on EVs despite Biden push, poll shows

President Biden has made the push for broader adoption of electric vehicles a key pillar of his agenda to fight climate change since he entered the White House, but the latest data shows a major chunk of Americans still have no intention of buying an EV in the near future.

Despite hefty tax incentives for purchasing all-electric cars, a majority of U.S. adults — 6 in 10 — of those surveyed cited high prices as the major reason they would not buy an EV, and some 25% cited cost as a minor reason. The AP noted that the average price of a new EV is out of reach for many Americans' budgets at $58,000, according to Kelley Blue Book, while the average vehicle sold in the U.S. is under $46,000.

Seventy-five percent of those surveyed in the poll cited too few charging stations as a reason they would not purchase an EV, and 70% said EVs take too long to charge. Sixty-seven percent of respondents said they prefer gas-powered cars. The Biden administration’s new emissions rules effectively require that nearly all vehicles must be EVs by 2032, and the AP poll indicates consumers will take a lot more convincing for enough to be willing to buy those vehicles.
