Nearly half of American EV owners want to switch back to gas-powered vehicle, McKinsey data shows

Major share of US EV owners have buyer's remorse


A significant share of Americans who own an electric vehicle have buyer's remorse, according to new data.

McKinsey & Co.'s Mobility Consumer Pulse for 2024, released this month, found that 46% of EV owners in the U.S. said they were "very" likely to switch back to owning a gas-powered vehicle in their next purchase.

The high percentage of Americans who want to make a switch even surprised the consulting firm.

"I didn't expect that," the head of McKinsey's Center for Future Mobility, Philipp Kampshoff, told Automotive News. "I thought, 'Once an EV buyer, always an EV buyer.'"








They better save their pennies because the trade-in $$ is gonna suck.

Market is saturated. Anyone that wanted one, got one. If they want sales to go up again, they have to instill much more confidence in the product, eliminate charging issues, resolve "dead 12v battery lockout" :biggrin: , and make the car as easy to buy, use and sell as an ICE. But it has to be done at it's own pace, not mandated and forced down our throats.

Yep, said two years ago grab the gains on TSLA and run. Been saying that's how growth stocks work no matter what the industry, can't be too long on them.
