“among those respondents who did purchase a car or truck in the last 12 months, only 3.71% bought a new fully electric model, compared to 27.32% who got a gas combustion vehicle and 13.53% who opted for a new hybrid.”

Where are the missing 55%? And only 27.32% went for an ICE?? Something doesn’t add up.

“Used vehicle buyers chose to buy gas-fueled cars, per the study. According to response rates, 41.91% preferred to buy a car or truck with an internal combustion engine, whereas 4.51% and 9.02% went for used fully electric and hybrid varieties, respectively.”

Does this take into account how the market for used cars looks like? It seems like there would be tons of more ICE cars than electric varieties, since they’ve been even more popular in the past.

Almost 50% of new passenger car registrations Jan-Oct were fullt electric or hybrid.
