Maybe I’m misunderstanding the study, but I think these numbers are being conflated incorrectly.
That’s NOT 1 in 5 EV owners. 40% of EV owners made a decision to replace their EV, 1 in 5 of THOSE people replaced it with an ICE vehicle, while the rest replaced it with another EV, and presumably 60% of EV owners continue to drive their EVs. If I round up, 387/4512 is a bit closer to 1 in 10, which is not an insignificant number, but it’s not quite the mass adoption failure the headline would like you to believe. And the general points of needing to adopt a new driving mindset, easy access to level 2 charging at home, etc are definitely things that should be more openly talked about to those considering a purchase, it’s not all magic and comfort (but it kind of mostly is!).
