EV Demand Plummets as American Consumers Lose Interest in Electric Cars

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, discusses a recent Gallup poll revealing a significant drop in American interest in electric vehicles—from 59% to 51%. Particularly alarming is the decrease among younger adults and college graduates. McIntyre outlines key issues, including charging infrastructure, range anxiety, high costs, maintenance concerns, and poor cold-weather performance. He warns that the U.S. EV industry may be stalling just as major automakers are heavily invested and Tesla’s momentum slows.
