ORLANDO, Fla. - AAA Newsroom reports that in their latest survey, despite the fact that many Americans having interest in electric vehicles, only 4 in 10 said that most vehicles will be electric by 2029. AAA believes that similar to other emerging technologies, a lack of knowledge and experience may be contributing to the slow adoption of electric vehicles.
Greg Brannon, AAA’s director of Automotive Engineering and Industry Relations, says in a press release, “Today, more than 200,000 electric cars can be found on roads across the country as almost every manufacturer sells them, but like other new vehicle technologies, Americans don’t have the full story/understanding and that could be causing the gap between interest and action.” Although most Americans don’t believe electric vehicles will be on the road in masses in the next 10 years, AAA did find that 40 million Americans say they would be likely to consider an electric vehicle for their next car purchase, with Millennials leading the pack.
