92% Of EV Owners Will Never Go Back To ICE-Only, New Study Finds​

Only four percent say that they would consider a plug-in hybrid vehicle after having an electric vehicle

December 14, 2024 at 21:01

• The study questioned over 23,000 electric vehicle drivers from across 18 different countries.
• Only 1 percent of respontends said they would be going back to a pure ICE vehicle
• Most prefer the platform for its low operating costs, but many have issues with charging.

Electric vehicle adoption rates fluctuate wildly sometimes. What doesn’t move around so much is loyalty after a person owns an EV. According to a new study, 92 percent of respondents said they would never go back to an ICE car. In fact, of all the available options, only one percent of the study population said they’d definitely go back to an ICE-only platform. As for the remaining 7 percent, 4 percent indicated they’d opt for a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), and the rest weren’t sure.

Notably, the survey comes from the Global EV Alliance (via Bloomberg) which, as its name might suggest, probably isn’t the most unbiased group when it comes to electric vehicles. It says online that “We believe that zero emission mobility is necessary to combat climate change,” and that “Our goal is a planet where all transportation is sustainable, clean, and electric!”

A Global Perspective on EV Trends


On the other hand, the study itself appears rather transparent. It includes responses from over 23,000 electric vehicle drivers in 18 countries including the USA, Canada, Austria, Brazil, France and India. On top of that, it weighs results based on each country’s share of the total EV fleet across the globe. This means that the results from the USA get weighted higher than those of, say, Sweden. That’s key because, in some smaller nations like Sweden, EV adoption rates are incredibly high.

By weighing the results, we get a more accurate picture of the reality EV owners are living in. According to almost all of them, electric cars are all they’ll buy from this point forward and that’s not all because of climate concerns either. Instead, nearly half of respondents (45 percent) championed the low operating cost of an EV when compared to a gas or diesel-powered car.

Climate friendliness was the second-biggest draw (40 percent), followed by helping the local environment (32 percent), solid driveability (21 percent), and lower maintenance costs (18 percent). In short: they’re cheaper to own, better to drive, and won’t leave your wallet crying every time you pull into a charging station (assuming it works, but we’ll get to that circus later).

94% of BEV owners would never go back to ICE​

Some 93.71% of current battery-electric vehicle (BEV) owners would never switch back to an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle, according to a wide ranging survey by FullyCharged.

Some 93.71% of current battery-electric vehicle (BEV) owners would never switch back to an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle, according to a wide ranging survey by Fully Charged.

According to 8,867 BEV owners, the vast majority would keep a BEV rather than return to an ICE, and the figure rises to 95.82% for Tesla drivers.

In addition, more than 9 out of 10 said they were also satisfied with their vehicle. Almost all (99%) said they would also recommend a BEV to other people.

Countering some of the negative media narrative about BEVs, in addition some 95% of owners said that the portrayal of owning an electric vehicle was not a fair reflection of their own lived experience of owning one.

In the UK, this figure was as high as 95.73%.

Owners also said that national governments weren’t doing enough to accelerate the switch, with 92% wanting more to be done, rising to 95.37% in the UK.

Most owners purchased their BEV privately, with less than a fifth (18.23%) buying their car through their company, illustrating the significant headroom for growth in this area, despite EV fleets being a significant proportion of purchases in monthly statistics of new registrations.

The majority of owners bought their car in either 2023 or 2022.

In addition, the survey highlighted the need to accelerate public charging infrastructure, with 91.58% of owners saying that they have an ability to charge their BEVs at home.

In a challenge to traditional OEMs, 58.8% of owners also said that switching to a BEV had meant that they had moved away from a brand that they had historically preferred. But it was only 54.6% who said that the new brand was now a preference, illustrating the potential for manufacturers to win back customers with new EV lines.

Tesla was top of those who had shifted, at just under a third, followed by KIA on 9.1%. Most owners (77%) only had one BEV too.

The move to electric had also lead to domestic technology investment, with 86.34% stating they would be more likely to purchase solar, battery, and electric heating and cooling products as a result of the switch.

Dan Caesar, CEO of the Fully Charged Show, said about the findings:

“We’ve been witness to a surge in anti-EV misinformation over the last 18 months, nevertheless battery electric vehicle sales globally continue to grow, and when those that purchase them experience them for themselves, the vast majority are very unlikely to return to combustion-powered vehicles.

“While the economics, politics and misinformation in some regions, have undoubtedly given some consumers pause for thought, the fact remains that once people try and then buy BEVs, they almost unanimously believe them to be better than what has come before. This certainty, and the arrival at last of more affordable new and used battery electric vehicles, ensures that this sector is only set to grow and grow.”

On paper people like EV because you know on paper, you can write anything you want

EVs are alright if: the recharging of the battery is as fast as filling up a tank with fuel, and you don't need to use an app or a special machine to charge them.

EVs are alright if: the recharging of the battery is as fast as filling up a tank with fuel, and you don't need to use an app or a special machine to charge them.

The reason why EVs are the future is because full self driving cannot be implemented on an ICE car. The link between the AI brain and mechanical controls is impossible to execute with the same precision.

In a few years time EVERYONE in the developed world will want a vehicle that drives itself especially in congested cities. It will be a godsend especially in the trucking industry.

It will also make the world so much safer and should save more than a million lives a year. No more multiple fatalities from drivers falling asleep, distracted by their phones, having a medical emergency etc.

Accidents like these should be a thing of the past.





The world is about the change dramatically. There are those with vested interests who will try to fight against the tide but the momentum has built up to the point of no return and transformation is inevitable. Let's embrace it.

In Singapore, you don't need EV to move you around. Many people rely on PMD to zoom around these days.

I reck0n they did not buy tesla but the alternative GM or ford EV.

EV maintenance is very low and motor should outlast sny ice engine until battery range starts to plummet. The cost of battery replacement maybe prohibitive.
If we can wait a little longer for sodium batteries to mature, thus battery is said to last a lifetime.

Pak or buy and regret are 2 different matters.
Besides, did they express regrets buying EV?

No but sheeple have more regrets with a consumer product (or rather scrapped metals) than their own body it seems

 

[nabeifuckpap]

Get China EVs out of the developed world and put that shit in the 3rd world before their batteries explode

Ignore all those dumb ang mohs, this is more relevant because it's based on our local context.

Got. After vax, the body came produce electricity to charge own EV
