Plug In America’s fifth annual EV driver survey is its largest to date. This particular survey includes responses from over 6,000 respondents, with over 5,300 being EV drivers.
The survey was fielded from January 2025 through March 2025. The intent of the survey was to get a full picture of the EV experience in the United States, in particular:
- Purchasing considerations when buying an EV
- The likelihood of EV drivers’ next vehicle being an EV
- The biggest concerns respondents had when buying or leasing an EV, and their biggest concerns now
- The charging experience
- The purchasing or leasing journey for an EV
- EV driver profiles
Highlights
- EV loyalty is up. EV drivers consistently love their cars, and this year, we saw more younger EV drivers join the fan club. Nearly 92% of EV driver respondents said it is likely or very likely their next vehicle will be an EV, an increase from the 89% of EV driver respondents who said the same last year.
- To know one is to love one. EV drivers sometimes have concerns before switching to electric, but most of these concerns quickly fade.
- EV education is working. Even before buying an EV, concerns from past surveys weren’t as prevalent.
The report includes deep dives into the data, plus messages, policies, and programs to prioritize.
