Most Americans aren’t interested in electric vehicles.
Ford’s Cannis cites an interesting statistic: “Forty-two percent of Americans think electric vehicles still require gas to run.” That shows how little many Americans know about EVs. Or they think all EVs are basically asearch would disabuse people of most mistaken notions in 15 minutes.
From my personal experience, it’s palpable disinterest. Many times I’ve tried to educate friends, family, strangers about EVs and their eyes just glaze over. Their expression says it all: I’ll be polite and listen but I’m not interested.That said, almost to a person, anyone I know who has bought an EV will never go back. You can refuel at home, no more trips to the gas station, very little maintenance, noBut that seemingly common sense argument doesn't mean you can convince others.
Even in the great EV Mecca of Los Angeles DC fast chargers are still few and far between. And the fast charging pumps that are available are often taken. That means waiting 10, 15 or sometimes 30 minutes for a charger. That’s on top of the time it takes to charge.That can be a powerful counterargument for those who have an interest in EVs but need to charge outside of their home.Dealerships in the U.S. are franchises. That 100-year-old business model wants to sell maintenance.
Go to many Chevy dealers and you’ll still see Bolts hidden behind a phalanx of Silverados, Suburbans, Equinoxes, and Corvettes. The company and its franchises just aren’t interested in selling lots of EVs.
