DETROIT — The German auto supplier Bosch has released a survey of 1,000 American carbuyers who believe that electric vehicles are finally reaching the mainstream.
The survey was conducted of adults aged 18 and older who purchased or leased at one new vehicle within the past five years. According to the study, new car buyers show an increasing willingness to adopt full-electric vehicles in the near future.
Specifically, 62 percent of new car buyers believe they will own at least one full-electric vehicle in their household within 10 years or less. Of those who anticipate having a full-electric vehicle in their household at any point in their lifetime, 71 percent believe all of their household vehicles will be full-electric vehicles within 15 years
Further, 62 percent of new car buyers would be interested in purchasing a full-electric vehicle at an additional cost of $10,000 (after tax credits) over the same vehicle with a gasoline engine.
