In 2020, 93 percent of the respondents to a survey in the US had not driven an electric-only vehicle in past 12 months. On the other hand, only four percent of them had driven an electric-only vehicle in the past year.
Number of times a person drove an electric-only vehicle in the last 12 months in the US as of February 2022
Original survey question: "In the past 12 months, how many times have you driven an electric-only vehicle?"
Supplementary notes from the survey:
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.
