Can you believe it?
Nearly half of EV owners in the US want to switch back to gas.
Never would've guessed!
More than 4 in 10 owners of electric vehicles in the U.S. are likely buy a combustion engine car for their next purchase.
That's the takeaway of a global McKinsey & Co. consumer survey that, among other findings, concluded that charging concerns are hindering the transition to EVs.
Twenty-nine percent of EV owners across the globe said they're likely to reverse course. That hit 46 percent in the U.S. Consumers globally said their top concern was the inadequacy of the public charging infrastructure. They also cited concerns with high costs of ownership and detrimental impact to long-distance trips.
Bro, we're beating the global number by 17 percentage points!
Give yourself a hand, America!
Though it might have something to do with this:
Yes,
The Biden admin has set a goal of building half a million electric vehicle charging stations in the United States by the year 2030. Under 3 years of Mayor Pete's leadership they have built ... 8.
That's a $7.5 BILLION project, by the way.
And it's not just the US. According to the McKinsey & Co. survey, "Only 9 percent of global respondents felt the public-charging buildout was sufficient for their needs."
Welp, nudge us all you want into EV, Biden administration, but it's not working, and it has a lot to do with your incompetence.
(Elon Musk is gonna have to singlehandedly fix this problem, isn't he? ๐)
