Many Americans are on the fence about whether they would purchase an electric car or truck. 39% of Americans say that the next time they purchase a vehicle, they are at least somewhat likely to seriously consider electric, while 46% say they are not too or at all likely to do so, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. 53% of the three-in-ten Americans who describe themselves as knowing a lot about electric vehicles are at least somewhat likely to consider an electric vehicle purchase in the future, while 39% say they are not too or at all likely to do so. Millennials are more open to considering the purchase of an electric vehicle, particularly in comparison with Baby Boomer and older adults.
