That’s according to a pair of recent polls, as well as extensive feedback from car owners given to the Washington Examiner.Just over 40% of drivers said they would be “somewhat likely” to purchase an EV the next time they go car shopping, according to a poll released April 10 by the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago and the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
She added, “Policies that alleviate these concerns will be a key component of building support for an EV future.” As the fleet of American cars becomes more EV-heavy, the initial purchase price gap should narrow, in theory. In practice, however, the Chevrolet Bolt was the cheapest mass-produced EV on the market. It’s going out of production at the end of this year for lack of demand.
“I own a Mustang GT,” Gallagher told the Washington Examiner. “I have driven it for over 12,000 miles, and passing gas stations [with] the $6 price for premium gasoline is terrific.”“As fun as the car is to drive, charging on the road or when you don’t have a garage is a different story,” Gallagher said. “I drove the Mustang to Bandon Dunes, seven hours south of Seattle in Oregon.
