More Americans Would Buy an Electric Vehicle, and Some Consumers Would Use Low-Carbon Fuels, Survey Shows

Consumer Reports fielded a nationally representative multi-mode survey of Americans to gauge their perspectives and concerns regarding the transportation industry’s impact on the environment and Americans’ willingness to make environmentally-friendly transportation choices. The survey measured Americans’ knowledge and experiences with electric-only vehicles, their likelihood of getting one, and their perceptions about barriers preventing and incentives that would encourage them to get a battery-only electric vehicle. The survey also assessed Americans’ awareness about low carbon fuel usage in vehicles and aviation and their willingness to use low carbon fuels in their personal vehicle as well as choose flights that use low carbon fuels, when they become available. The results are based on interviews conducted from January 27, 2022 – February 18, 2022.
