Results from a 2023 EV sentiment survey conducted by Edmunds explore motivators across male and female respondents surrounding EV car shopping and suggest some of the reasons why this gap exists.
71% of men said they would consider an EV as their next vehicle, while only 34% of women fell in the same camp. Men are more likely to buy an EV for the privilege of being the first to own any newfangled tech. The price and range of an EV is related to other pragmatic issues that women reportedly consider when switching (or not) to fully-electric cars, such as value.
