One of the biggest barriers to purchase, regardless of age, is that people are worried there is a lack of charging infrastructure. In the Northeast, 83% of people surveyed believe that there are not enough charging stations available – more Baby Boomers (87%) agree with this than Millennials (79%). However, almost half of the survey respondents have noticed an increase of available charging stations in their local areas.

“In the Northeast, hundreds of millions of dollars are being invested in building out charging infrastructure to meet growing demand. In the last year alone, the number of public charging stations increased by more than 20% in the Northeast, and there are plans to add even more stations in 2019,” continued Elaine O’Grady, who didn’t thank the overburdened taxpayers in the northeast that is causing a Florida boom.

“Also, people without electric cars often don’t realize that most charging takes place at home overnight. In any event, the fact that people are noticing more charging stations in their communities is encouraging and a clear indicator that we are making significant progress toward raising awareness and building confidence that public charging stations are available.”

The study also found that consumers are still worried about the range of electric vehicles. In fact, eight out of ten people surveyed said they have concerns about the distance you can drive an electric vehicle before needing to re-charge it.

This finding according to the fuzzy illogic of the Association of Global Automakers points to the need to increase consumer knowledge about electric cars because concerns about range can easily be addressed by choosing the technology and model that is best suited to the customer’s needs. In other words, dissolve the people and elect a new one suitable to automakers. – AutoCrat

“Automakers offer over 40 models of electric cars in almost every vehicle segment from SUVs to sedans and many more are coming over the next few years,” said Steve Douglas, Senior Director, Energy & Environment, at the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers. “Customers can also choose from battery electric vehicles that can go 250 miles on a single charge, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles that offer a combined range from electricity and gasoline to up to 600 miles, and fuel cell electric vehicles that can go up to 350 miles on a single tank of hydrogen.”
