• 尽管政府推动，但许多美国人仍然对电动汽车的采用犹豫不决。
• 缺乏充电基础设施和里程焦虑仍然是新车市场的主要关注点。
• 农村地区在充电器接入方面苦苦挣扎，而城市则对电动汽车表现出更高的兴趣。

一项新的民意调查显示，大多数美国人对购买电动汽车没有兴趣。正如预期的那样，对里程焦虑的担忧仍然是一个主要因素，但随着持续缺乏负担得起的电动汽车选择，成本似乎也是一个主要考虑因素。

尽管该行业投入了数十亿美元，但仍有一些重大障碍需要清除，特别是如果美国要满足环境保护署的新规定，即到2032年新车销量的56%是电动汽车。

许多受访者表示，不住在充电器附近是购买电动汽车的主要障碍，50%的农村地区居民表示他们当地没有充电器。对于城市居民来说，这个数字下降到40%。

这项民意调查由美联社-NORC公共事务研究中心和芝加哥大学能源政策研究所进行，涉及6,265名成年人，反映了去年的结果，并强调了拜登总统促进电动汽车销售的雄心勃勃的计划所面临的挑战。

只有13%的美国成年人报告拥有或租赁汽油混合动力汽车，而只有9%的人拥有电动汽车。辛辛那提的 Caleb Jud 是谨慎消费者的典范，他考虑使用电动汽车，但倾向于插电式混合动力车。“一想到电动汽车无法行驶就被困在车道上，这令人担忧，我知道插电式混合动力车不会成为问题，”他解释说，指的是对电动汽车在寒冷天气下性能的担忧。https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Tesla-Charging-1218-31-1024x683.jpg

电动汽车价格虽然在下降，但仍然是一个重大障碍。2 月份新电动汽车的平均成本为 52,314 美元，比去年同期下降 12.8%，但仍高于所有新车的平均水平，即 47,244 美元。价格是老年人特别关心的问题，近十分之六的人认为这是反对购买电动汽车的主要原因。

随着关于电动汽车采用的争论仍在继续，很明显，虽然存在兴趣，但实际问题和财务考虑在消费者决策中起着重要作用。电动汽车的广泛采用之路可能比预期的更长、更复杂。

不过，并不是每个人都对电动汽车感到失望。圣安东尼奥的何塞·瓦尔迪兹（Jose Valdez）是福特野马Mach-E的车主，他说：“人们认为他们花了一只胳膊和一条腿，但一旦他们体验了电动汽车，他们就会有不同的心态，”瓦尔迪兹说，他安装了不到700美元的家用充电器，并享受汽油和维护成本的节省。https://www.carscoops.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/2024-GMC-Sierra-EV-1024x595.jpg

Most Americans Aren’t Sold On EVs, Blame Charging Woes, Range, And High Costs

With consumers' misgivings about EVs, President Biden's plan to boost their sales seems overly ambitious

• Despite government push, many Americans remain hesitant about EV adoption.
• Lack of charging infrastructure and range anxiety are still key concerns for those in the market for a new car.
• Rural areas struggle with charger access, while cities show higher EV interest.

A new poll has revealed that most Americans have no interest in buying an electric vehicle. As expected, concerns of range anxiety remain a major factor, but it would appear that cost is also a major consideration as a lack of affordable EV options continues.

Despite the billions of dollars being pumped into the industry, there are still some significant hurdles to clear, especially if the U.S. is to meet the new Environmental Protection Agency mandate of 56% of new vehicle sales to be electric by 2032.

Many of those surveyed said that not living near a charger was a major barrier to purchasing an EV, with 50 percent of those living in rural areas reporting they don’t have a charger local to them. The figure drops to 40 percent for urban dwellers.

The poll, conducted by the The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago, involving 6,265 adults, mirrors last year’s results and underscores the challenges facing President Biden’s ambitious plan to boost EV sales.

Only 13 percent of U.S. adults report owning or leasing a gas-hybrid vehicle, while a mere 9 percent do have an electric car. Caleb Jud of Cincinnati exemplifies the cautious consumer, contemplating an EV but leaning towards a plug-in hybrid. “The thought of getting stuck in the driveway with an EV that won’t run is worrisome, and I know it wouldn’t be an issue with a plug-in hybrid,” he explained, referencing concerns about EV performance in cold weather.

EV prices, although declining, remain a significant hurdle. The average cost for a new EV in February was $52,314, down 12.8% from the previous year but still above the average for all new vehicles, which stands at $47,244. Price is a particular concern among older adults, with nearly 6 in 10 citing it as a major reason against buying an EV.

As the debate over EV adoption continues, it’s clear that while there is interest, practical concerns and financial considerations play significant roles in consumer decisions. The road to widespread EV adoption may be longer and more complex than anticipated.

Not everyone had a downer on EVs though. Jose Valdez of San Antonio, owner of a Ford Mustang Mach-E, said: “People think they cost an arm and a leg, but once they experience an EV, they’ll have a different mindset,” said Valdez, who installed a home charger for under $700 and enjoys the cost savings on gas and maintenance.
