Americans Prefer Hybrids Over EVs, Finds AAA | Car News

Recently, we shared a J.D. Power study about the purchase intentions of Canadian consumers concerning electric vehicles. It revealed that slightly more than half were not ready to make the transition.

That percentage is notably higher than it is in the U.S. Despite all the government EV incentives and even with automakers promoting their new electric models via large advertising campaigns, consumer interest in fully electric models is currently declining. At the same time, the popularity of hybrid models is on the rise.

Meanwhile, 31 percent of respondents said it is "likely" or "very likely" that they will opt for a hybrid model.Among the reasons cited, range anxiety came up often, unsurprisingly. Hybrid vehicles provide a perfect cure to that since motorists can get some of the benefits of electrification without worrying about running out of charge.
