"Consumer Demand for Affordable Electric Cars Rises Despite Cost Concerns"

Despite reports of weak demand for electric vehicles, a survey of 2,000 Americans found that over half are considering an electric or hybrid car for their next purchase, with a median budget of $50,000. These potential buyers are more focused on practical considerations such as cost of ownership and charging infrastructure, and are willing to pay a premium for electrified cars. They also tend to gravitate towards trusted brands like Toyota, which is still emphasizing hybrids, over newer electric-focused brands.

However, the myth that EV ownership costs are higher than internal combustion engine vehicles is false, with the average cost of maintaining a BEV being lower than the industry average. The readily-available Tesla Model 3 starts at $38,030, but with federal and state incentives, it could be a sub-$30,000 car for some buyers, rivaling the prices of entry-level sedans from other brands.
