5 Surprising Facts From Ford's Electric Vehicle Study - The Cheat Sheet
We know that Tesla owners love their cars and that most electric vehicle drivers have some green reasoning behind their vehicles of choice. To find out what early adopters of pure electric cars and plug-in hybrid EVs (PHEVs) thought about their rides, Ford Motor Company commissioned a study from PlugInsights of over 10,000 EV owners. Some findings (as they appear in Clean Technica) confirm what we suspect about people driving green cars, like the fact most families can only use an all-electric model as a second car. Here were the five most revealing points EV and PHEV owners made about their cars. This response is so common it’s almost unanimous, but it is the reason why so many EV drivers want another electric car. Next to the reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and clean technology, drivers cited the driving experience as the top reason they would buy another EV in the future. We know Tesla gets rave reviews for its magnificent Model S sedans, but we’re surprised the opinion holds across the board for the segment, even after our experience with the peppy Ford Focus Electric. A whopping 94% of plug-in hybrid owners said they would buy another electrified car in the future. Once you get a taste of electric driving, you want more, and the less gas the better.
