“We’ve seen no research on the matter, but we’d bet that there’s an enormous crossover between homes with EVs in the garage and “In This House We Believe …” signs in the yard.”

A couple of other factors play-in:
1. If you poll people, there will always be a tendency to want to answer the question “correctly”, rather than honestly - which is why it’s often necessary to ask people a question like “Do you think most people you know will vote for Biden or Trump?”, rather than directly asking “Will YOU vote for Biden or Trump?”, since, of course, the correct answer is Biden. So, sure, everyone is willing to buy an EV, until it comes to actually buying a car for $40k.

2. The way the government has more or less taken over control of large corporations, GM in particular, where GM is as much of a lapdog regarding government policy on cars as Germany is a lapdog regarding US government policy on Ukraine - to the point where we can blow up Germany’s pipelines without any complaint from Germany.

One commentator recently pointed out that many urban folks who want to virtue signal live in homes and townhouses on residential streets where they park on the streets.

That means there is no way to charge the EV while at home.

This is an Achilles Heel in the EV market.
