More Americans View EVs As a Primary Car in the Household, MINI USA Survey Reveals

24 Apr 2022 | Abstracted from Electric Car Report

"The survey, which repeated the same set of questions used in a 2019 questionnaire carried out by MINI USA, indicates that more Americans – and particularly younger and female consumers – view electric vehicles as a primary car in the household more than any other use case. This represents a shift from 2019 where more respondents selected “commuting car” and “city car” as preferred uses.

"A point that has remained consistent from both surveys is daily travel distance, as 76% of respondents say that 75 miles of battery range is sufficient for everyday driving.

"While vehicle usage has remained consistent, expectations for faster charging times rose over the last three years. This not only signals an improved perception of available charging technology and its progression over recent years, but an increasing expectation that greater improvements in charging is necessary for rapid EV adoption. More than two-thirds (67%) of consumers now believe charging should take no more than an hour, an increase from 59% three years ago."
