AAA survey confirms the trend: More buyers worry about EVs, favor hybrids

Hybrids. yes. Electrics, maybe not.

Never mind monetary federal tax incentives and automobile manufacturers' marketing of all-electric vehicles to American buyers; the appeal of EVs has dropped this year, while alternately, consumers say they’re more likely to purchase a hybrid.

An April survey by the American Automobile Association supports a continuing trend: Only 18 percent of Americans are “likely” or “very likely” to buy a fully electric vehicle, down from 23 percent a year ago.Meanwhile, 63 percent of respondents indicate it is “unlikely” or “very unlikely” that their next vehicle purchase will be an all-electric.
