The growth in the electric car industry is incredible as each day new technology is discovered to make the car better and easier for the driver.
The vast majority of electric vehicle owners will not go back to traditional gas-powered cars, according to a survey commissioned by Ford Motor
A full 92 percent of battery electric vehicle (BEV) drivers will stay with electric when they buy another vehicle, according to the survey. The news was first reported by, Clean Technica (via Green Car Reports). The report noted that the percentage for plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) owners is even higher: 94 percent.
The survey polled 10,000 electric vehicle owners, Ford said.
Of the 92 percent of BEV drivers who said they would buy another EV, the primary choice was another BEV, according to the report. Ford cited upsides such as “instant power” as well as “an appreciation of clean technology.” And PHEV owners were “more inclined” to switch to BEV for their next electric car.
