I’ve always been told experience is the best teacher. Add to this the fact that 78% of American EV owners also own an ICE vehicle.

EVs can serve people well depending on the type of use, which is limited compared to ICE vehicles.

Question: Is this the study that questioned household EV owners or individual EV owners? Here's how that's relevant.

My wife and I own a relatively new EV (2 years old) and do most of our driving in it (49K miles in 2 years). So it definitely fits must, but not all of our needs (we also have a gas pickup). Though we like our EV a lot, our next car purchase will probably be a combustion engine vehicle. Why? Because our gas pickup is pretty old and probably be the next car that needs replacing. Contrasted with most EV's are relatively new and not the next car that needs replacing.

I agree with the overall sentiment of the video, which shames the left for loudly proclaiming that everyone should have to switch to EV's. I just question this main data point that he bases the video from.

MGUY is usually careful to make distinctions, but not in this case. The question was not about replacing EV with ICE, but next car being ICE. Since folks are going to have a hard time offloading their EV, they can still use it to go shopping.
