According to a study of 4000+ EV owners in California between 2012-2018, about 1 in 5 of them either planned to or did go back to internal combustion.
Those who were switching away from EV's...
Quote:
- Depended on them for their only means of transportation—so essentially people who only had one car
- People who lived in places where home charging was difficult also abandoned electric vehicles at higher rates
- Generally younger, were more likely to rent their living spaces and were less likely to live in a standalone house.
- Women also switched back to gas-powered vehicles at higher rates than men, although the paper offered no concrete suggestion as to why that might be.
