While EVs have been rapidly advancing, we’re now at this critical juncture where it's not about proving if the tech is there, but rather, trying to convince consumers that electric vehicles are worth it. Recently, a poll by the Associated Press suggests that U.S. car shoppers are still reluctant about buying an EV for their next purchase — with 46% saying they’re either not at all likely to turn to an EV or not too likely to buy one.
I can certainly understand that hesitation, having experienced many surprising and shocking things about EVs during the last several months I’ve been covering them. However, it’s the same set of reasons reiterated again and again in other articles. So while the same reasons exist, people neglect to realize how these obstacles are being overcome.
