Consumers in the U.S want electric vehicles to be less expensive and to be able to travel more than 500 miles on a single charge, according to a new survey by Deloitte, which tracked consumer attitudes towards EVs around the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new study from Deloitte shows U.S. consumers want EVs to cost less and travel further than 500 miles on a single charge.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The 2022 Global Automotive Consumer Study from Deloitte<\/a><\/u><\/strong>, a global business consulting and services firm, found as global auto manufacturers continue to invest in electrified vehicle production, consumers still prefer internal combustion engines. Deloitte found 69% of U.S. consumers looking to retain the technology for their next vehicle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite expecting to remain in their gas-powered vehicles, U.S. consumers expect fully charged BEV driving range to be north of 500 miles<\/a><\/u><\/strong>, while those in China, Japan and India are content with a range of around 250 miles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It better be cheap to be green<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even though more and more potential buyers are expressing a growing interest in sustainability globally, more than half \u2014 53% \u2014 of U.S. consumers are unwilling to pay more than $500 for alternative engine solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consumers are even less willing to pay an additional $500 for advanced technology in the areas such as safety, connectivity, infotainment and most significantly autonomy, according to Deloitte\u2019s survey data collected in the U.S. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides range and cost, 10% of the American consumers cited concerns about the amount of time it takes to charge a vehicle. Another 14% said they were deterred by the lack of public charging stations across the U.S., Deloitte reports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the idea of protecting environment <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For the most part, people are drawn to an EV because of an expectation of lower fuel costs, or they are concerned about climate change and want to reduce emissions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, consumers around the world also worry about future increases in the cost of electricity. Potential increases in the price of electricity may sway a significant number of consumers away from a PHEV\/BEV purchase in most global markets, according to Deloitte. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Deloitte study also found virtual sales continue to show promise for their convenience and ease of use; however, 75% of U.S. consumers would prefer an in-person experience for their next vehicle purchase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, shared mobility services like ride-hailing and car sharing have been slow to return to pre-pandemic levels; 76% of Americans prefer their personal vehicles to other modes of transportation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
