Although the electric car can generally see progress, new figures from the USA show that close to half of motorists now say no to the type of car.
It is not everywhere that the electric car is equally popular. Not even if there is a car with a cable in more and more garages around the world.
The latest figures from the research firm Gallup show that the proportion of Americans with a driver's license and an electric car has increased from 4 to 7 percent in one year. But the same survey also shows another trend.
This is what the analysis firm writes in apress release .
Namely that 48 percent of American drivers 'have no intention' of buying an electric car. And it's bad reading.
Especially for the US government, which, with President Joe Biden at the helm, hopes that 60 percent of all new cars in the US by 2030 will run exclusively on electricity.

Gallup also points out that the share of Americans who say they are seriously considering an electric car next time has dropped from 12 to 9 percent from March 2023 to March this year.
Some Americans, however, soon have no choice at all. At least not if they want to continue to sit behind the wheel themselves. Several states have chosen to follow California's example and ban the sale of anything other than electric cars from 2035.
Just as it is the case at our latitudes elsewhere. However, there are indications that the ban on new petrol and diesel cars last year is wavering. Read more about it here.
