A steady one-half of Americans say that they’re open to purchasing an electric vehicle; hybrids have more appeal than fully electric vehicles, especially among Republicans. Roughly half of Americans (51%) now say that they would consider purchasing an EV, including 3% who report that they already own one, 8% who say that they are “seriously” considering one, and 40% who “might” consider one in the future. While Gallup found an eight-point drop in Americans’ openness to EVs between 2023 (59%) and 2024 (51%), interest appears to have stabilized over the past year. While demographics such as age and education are linked to EV interest, political beliefs overshadow every other factor. Interest in EVs is relatively higher among younger Americans aged 18-34 (64%) and college graduates (61%), and lower than average among Americans aged 55+ (41%) and those without college degrees (46%).
