Nearly half of American electric vehicle (EV) owners want to buy an internal combustion engine model the next time they buy a car, according to a new study from McKinsey and Company, a leading consulting firm.

Approximately 46% of Americans who own an EV want to go back to a standard vehicle for their next purchase, citing issues like inadequate charging infrastructure and affordability, according to McKinsey’s study, which was obtained and reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation.


The study’s findings further suggest that the Biden administration’s EV push is struggling to land with American consumers, after 46% of respondents indicated that they are unlikely or very unlikely to purchase an EV in a June poll conducted by The Associated Press and the University of Chicago’s Energy Policy Institute.

Huh, if only someone had predicted this!

Toyota was right......120V plug-in hybrids with a 50 mile battery range are the future.

I was amazed by the fact that so many EV owners don't have a home charging system.

It's only a matter of time before battery technology allows faster charging and prices on EV's come down.

When that happens, no one will want an internal combustion engine in their car.

Yeah, about the same time as a viable flying car or a phased plasma rifle in the 40 Watt range.

Another desperate thread.

One of my nephews switched from a Chevy Volt to a gas Lexus in Jan

And he was an EV owner to please his greenie girl friend and save the polar bears

Yeah? ... strikes me as a little too amazing ... are you familiar with the Daily Caller News Foundation? ... if you think they're reliable, and these millions upon millions of people are buying EVs without knowing they'll need to be charged ... I would guess it's the public school teachers being underpaid and overworked ... like Texas ...

A fool and their money are soon parted ...

Thinking ahead is not our strong suit. Most of our seniors are unprepared for retirement.

With flying cars even fender benders will likely be fatal for everyone.

You won't let that go ... will you? ...

Does that strike a nerve? It's actually pretty important. A whole generation of people making a big fucking mess for someone else to clean up. Sweet.

My generation perfected the art of kicking cans down the road ... see how Oakridge is bleeding plutonium into the Tennessee River and nobody cares? ... have you listened to either Country or Western music lately? ... it's garbage, it's pop, it's contaminated ... as bad as Portland, Oregon ... keep the Geiger counters off and nobody gets hurt ...

How many new nuclear reactors do we need to power all the EVs?

It's harder to save when SS takes 12.4% of every paycheck.

6.2%. Your employer wouldn't pay you the other 6.2% if SS didn't exist. Actually, SS is a kind of forced savings account for your retirement and is very profitable if you care for your health and collect for a long time.

Many critics complain that they can earn more by investing in the stock market, but the reality is they would just spend the money, not invest it.

Go into business, then you get out of paying into SS.

EV's are only one alternative to eliminating most gas vehicles. They were never intended to replace all of them.

Think about:
Mass transit buses
Mass transit trains.
Bicycles
Walking
Employment closer to home
10% to 20% EV's replacing gas engines
....................

Can anybody think of the other solutions?

That’s 6.2% more they could pay you if SS did not take it. That’s your salary too.

Tell that to the commee Green Obiden KKKlan. No new GAS cars sold in CA in five years?

They could, but I'm not so sure they would.
