Consumers’ True Level of Satisfaction with Their EVs

Every time I encounter an EV driver in a relaxed setting, suppose I spot someone walking to or from his vehicle in a parking lot, I ask, “Say, how do you like your car?” I have a least a few hundred of these one-question surveys under my belt at this point.

So far, I have three who were luke-warm, one of whom was an Avis renter who was having trouble learning the new instrument interface.

All the rest were glowing.  The most common response: “It’s by far the best car I’ve ever owned.”

Cherry-picked.  Turn on Fox “News” right now, and watch the few short minutes as required  to see a person with an MD or a PhD degree tell you vaccines don’t work or that climate change is a hoax.  These people do exist, but in far fewer than one in one hundred cases.  But if your job is to find one, you’ll succeed eventually. At the expense of your integrity, of course.
