Not very long ago when everyone was saying that polluting gas-powered vehicles were on the brink of losing favor to electric cars. However, it looks like buyers’ preferences are moving back to sticking with the tried and tested formula of internal combustion.
A new study from Deloitte reports that 61% of US consumers would choose a gas engine in their next vehicle, compared to just 5% who would switch to electric and 21% who would consider a hybrid.
Of the people who would consider an EV for their next purchase, 52% of consumers would do so to lower their fuel costs, meaning that US consumers still very much care about the total cost of ownership of their cars.
