For most US drivers who switch to electric, there's no going back​

DETROIT: The vast majority of US electric car owners - won over by their reliability, reduced maintenance costs and advances in recharging - plan to remain loyal to this type of vehicle for their next purchase, despite the uncertainty surrounding government subsidies.

In the United States, 94% of electric vehicle owners are so satisfied with their car that they are likely to consider buying another electric model the next time they buy, according to a study published by the firm J.D. Power.

Only 12% could one day envisage returning to a vehicle with an internal combustion engine.

If American motorists who have tried electric vehicles are so convinced, it is first and foremost because the perceived quality of these vehicles is constantly improving, and not only with regard to high-end models.

Motorists now consider electric cars to be particularly reliable.

In addition, more than two-thirds of first-time buyers admit that they were able to easily switch to a fully electric car thanks to training on the specifics of electric vehicle ownership at the time of purchase.

Charging infrastructure has made significant progress, with greater satisfaction in terms of the availability of public charging stations.

Finally, the reduced maintenance costs compared to combustion engine vehicles and the availability of tax incentives continue to play a decisive role in purchase decisions.

Hybrid is better. Which do u prefer? Fill up petrol in 5 mins time or to spend 3 hours to charge your car ? EV has no resale value, close to zero

Africa and South America count for nothing as they do not have car manufacturers.
If all major ones switch to EV, the rest will follow.
Unless the older ICE factories are relocated to Africa as it will be most populated continent soon.

The legacy car makers will dump their old models unsold stock there.
The newer ice cars are too complicated with all kinds of electronics and gadgets just to remain within emission rules. That's why reliability of new model ice cars suck. Africans won't touch them. And legacy car makers ignoring these markets.
