"Deloitte recently published its 2026 Global Automotive Consumer Study, which surveyed over 28,500 people from 27 countries between October and November 2025. It found that 47% of Americans surveyed reported that the range of electric vehicles was the top concern keeping them from buying an EV. Next came charging time, cited by 44% of respondents as a concern, followed by overall cost, mentioned by 40%."
"That shows interest in pure electric vehicles remains low in the U.S., and the main reason why 52% of those questioned would consider going electric is EVs' lower running cost. They're especially low if you are able to charge at home, not using public networks. However, there appears to be a bottleneck: 77% noted that they plan to charge their EV at home, while 53% reported not having access to a dedicated home charger."
Driving range and charging time rank above purchase price as the main barriers to buying fully electric vehicles in the U.S. A 2026 global automotive survey found 47% of Americans listed range as their top concern, 44% cited charging time, and 40% cited overall cost. EV market share declined after the federal clean-vehicle tax credit ended, showing that price still influences adoption. EV purchase intent in the U.S. rose only from 5% to 7% in 2025, while intent for pure combustion and hybrids stayed at 61% and 26%. Home charging access is a bottleneck: 77% plan to charge at home but 53% lack a dedicated charger, pushing many toward hybrids despite lower EV running costs when home charging is available.
