Recent polling conducted by Texas 2036 shows that over half of voters under the age of 45 have bought an EV or are considering buying one.
In a poll released by Texas 2036, a non-profit voter polling agency in the state focused on gauging the interests of voters on a wide variety of topics, over half of younger voters already own or are considering buying electric cars. The poll found that those who were between the age of 35-44 were most likely to acquire EVs (56%), followed by 18-34-year-olds (53%), then 45-55-year-olds (34%), and finally voters over age 55 (20%).
The poll also examined why voters were or were not interested in buying electric vehicles. Surprisingly, the top reason cited as why voters wanted to buy electric vehicles was “reducing auto emissions that contribute to climate change” at 41%, followed by “the rising cost of gas” at 28%, and “new technologies or other features in EV models” at 19%.
Voters who were not interested in buying an electric vehicle believed that electric vehicles were too expensive (30%), while roughly a quarter preferred gas or diesel vehicles (23%), and a select few cited range anxiety as their top concern (14%).
