Forget What You Read on Facebook: 94% of EV Drivers Won't Go Back to Gas
Survey data suggests current EV owners report high satisfaction and reluctance to return to gasoline vehicles.
A new survey of electric vehicle owners finds that 94% say they will not go back to gasoline-powered cars, challenging negative narratives about EV ownership common on social media.
What Happened
The data comes from a recent survey of current EV drivers conducted by Electrek. The findings show overwhelming satisfaction among those who have made the switch to electric vehicles, with an apparent disconnect between online criticism and real-world owner experience.
Why It Matters
For potential buyers considering an EV purchase, this data point suggests real-world owner satisfaction is high despite what critics post on platforms like Facebook. For industry analysts and policymakers pushing broader EV adoption, strong retention rates among current owners indicate the ownership experience meets expectations for most drivers.
The Bottom Line
While online discussions about EVs frequently highlight concerns and criticisms, actual EV owners report very high satisfaction with their vehicles.
