One thing interesting about the above is the answer of drivers and the perception of executives of the drivers.

Interesting study.

Back in November, Kelly Blue Book conducted a study of in-market buyers (as opposed to the "drivers" in the IBM study). For people actually in the market at the time, only 7% said that they would consider an EV.

Not really sure how the two statistical databases compare. IBM had a larger database (1,716 drivers), while KBB studied 219 active car shoppers.

In any case, 7% or 20%, certainly as more become aware of EVs, these numbers will only grow.

It's hard for someone to consider something when there is nothing to consider.

KBB study is quite different ... it is from self-selected website visitors.

Conducted in late October with input from 219 in-market shoppers who visited the site..
