More Americans say they think electric vehicles (EVs) are less reliable than gas-powered cars and trucks, while about 30 percent would “seriously consider” purchasing a plug-in.
According to a recent survey by the Pew Research Center, about 50 percent of respondents said EVs are less reliable, up 16 percentage points since 2021. Nine percent of respondents said EVs are more reliable, while 38 percent said they believe electric and gas vehicles are about equally reliable.
