May 26, 2022 – According to the newly released J.D. Power 2022 U.S. Electric Vehicle Consideration (EVC) Study, American car shoppers are more open than ever to considering buying an all-electric vehicle (EV).
The study, now in its second year, asserts that new electric-vehicle offerings from well-known automotive brands are helping to lessen skepticism and anxiety while encouraging consumers to take a serious look at EVs in their purchase decisions.
The percentage of shoppers who say they are “very likely” to consider an EV for their next purchase or lease has climbed to 24 percent—4 percentage points higher than a year ago. Several reasons may contribute to the increase, including the introduction of new electric-vehicle segments such as pickup trucks and the overall cost of fuel.
