Here is a recent Gallop survey on the demographics of EV owners:
Most Americans Are Not Completely Sold on Electric Vehicles
You have to highlight and Google it.
" U.S. adults with annual household incomes of $100,000 and over are more likely than those in lower income groups to already own or say they may own an EV. This may be a function of the higher price tag on electric versus gas vehicles."
"Americans who worry a great deal about global warming or climate change are most open to owning an electric vehicle now or in the future, with 79% saying they currently own one (5%), are seriously considering it (16%) or would at some point (58%). Conversely, 77% of those who are not at all concerned about climate change say they would never own an EV."
Lots more good data in the survey that you can pick through and get some idea of how successful or not that program is going.
If 79% of the climate emergency believers alredy have an EV are we approaching peak EV?
Or does that say only 5% of climate emergency believers have actually layed out the money.
That would be because they can't and probably never will be adle to afford one.
I spent 10 days in SoCal recently .
We have been going for 25+ yrs as my son used to live there.
Haven't been since covid Jan 20.
EV's are more common there as California has the most of any state and is probably the most suited to them with a well developed support system.
After 4 yrs I expected to see a lot more. Pickup trucks still clearly outnumber EV'S and most are just personal use urbanites.
As the Gallup survey above shows there is a very limited market upper middle class climate emergency believers.
26% of the subsidized buyers earn over $200K.
IMHO the Governments have spent all the money they can print or tax and that will be the end of the virtuous plans to replace ICE vehicles.
Taxpayers are now seeing who is going to pay and are getting a peek at what it is going to cost them.
It ain't going to happen.
