A growing number of Americans are coming around to the idea of driving electric vehicles, with 71% expressing at least some degree of interest in buying or leasing EVs, according to a national survey released Thursday by Consumer Reports.
Of more than 8,000 respondents, 14% said they would definitely buy or lease an EV and 22% said they would "seriously consider" one. Another 35% said they "might consider getting an electric-only vehicle in the future."
That's up from 4% who in 2020 said they would definitely buy or lease an EV.
