Nobody Who Buys An Electric Car Wants To Get Another One: SURVEY

The Biden administration, far-left politicians like Gavin Newsom and other international governments  are trying desperately to force consumers to buy electric cars. There's just a few problems: people don't want to buy them, and those who have them don't want to buy another one.

The lack of demand for EV's has pushed manufacturers to change their future production plans, or abandon electric models entirely. Even car dealerships have turned to desperately begging the administration and other political entities to pull back on EV plans because of collapsing interest.

But it's not just demand and lack of interest that's a problem for manufacturers and liberal politicians. According to a new survey from McKinsey, nearly half of the EV owners have no intention of ever buying another one. 

A full 46 percent of electric car owners in the United States said they were "very" likely to switch back to an international combustion engine car. The survey, which covered more than 37,000 buyers globally, found that nearly 30 percent of buyers in Europe and 49 percent of those in Australia had buyers' remorse.

Electric Cars Have Plenty Of Problems, Not A Lot Of Fixes

These survey results highlight the issue with trying to force consumers into a product; they don't always like it.

Electric cars have their place, and Tesla has solved some of the charging issues by putting stations everywhere. But for non-Tesla EV's, the public charging experience can be miserable at best, and inoperable at worst. 

It's not just charging either; electric car batteries degrade rapidly, depending on usage, meaning that the promised range often depletes within a few years. Those batteries also don't work as well in extreme weather, especially the cold, making EV's a difficult choice for those living in the Midwest or Northeast.

Of course, the promised range also relies on having accessible charging stations that operate at peak performance most of the time. But given the realities of infrastructure availability and the dangers of running out of batteries, drivers are forced to charge miles before empty. And plan out trips, commutes, etc.

That's not to say there aren't positives, there certainly are. But letting private industry figure out fixes, not delusional mandates, are the only acceptable answer. Instead, the Biden administration, as usual, wants to remove choice. All out of a futile hope to solve "climate change." Even though EV's can frequently be worse for the environment than gas cars.

Sounds right.
