It would be interesting to see in the US the income breakdown of folks with EVs versus rep. As expected ...
According to a study published in the Energy Research Social Science Journal, the majority of EV owners are white, own a home, have multiple vehicles, and have a higher income compared to the general population. About 60% of EV owners have an annual income of more than $100,000, while only 20% have an annual income of less than $50,000.
This disparity in EV ownership can be attributed to a number of factors. EVs are generally more expensive than gas-powered vehicles, which can make them less affordable for low-income individuals and families. Additionally, many low-income individuals and families may not have access to the type of financing that is needed to purchase an EV.
Another reason for the disparity in EV ownership is access to charging stations. Many low-income individuals and families may not have access to a charging station at home, which can make it difficult to charge an EV.
