In 2020, 50 percent of the respondents of a survey carried in the U.S. were encouraged to buy or lease electric-only vehicles if free public charging stations were available. While 47 percent of them wanted to start using electric-only vehicles if they could charge it at home, only 10 percent wanted to opt for electric-only vehicles if there were charging stations available at workplaces.
Charging options that would encourage people to start using electric-only vehicles in the U.S. as of February 2022
Original survey question: "Which, two, if any, of the following charging options would be most likely to encourage you to buy or lease a electric-only vehicle?"
Supplementary notes from the survey:
Totals do not add upto 100 as respondents selected up to two responses.
The survey measured Americans’ knowledge and experiences with electric-only vehicles, their likelihood of getting one, and their perceptions about barriers preventing and incentives that would encourage them to get a battery-only electric vehicle.
The survey also assessed Americans’ awareness about low carbon fuel usage in vehicles and aviation.
The interviews were conducted both in English and Spanish and were administered both online and by phone.
The margin of error for results based on the total sample is +/-1.59 percentage points at the 95% confidence level.
