Study: Less than 1% of EV owners would go back to gas-powered vehicles

There is a place in my garage for both EV and ICE, but having both I do find I’m becoming impatient with the slow application of power and shifting of the automatic transmission in the ICE vehicles. I don’t seem to mind it on the 2001 Expedition or 2007 Toyota Solara, but the 2022 Highlander drives me nuts. My 2021 Bronco is a different story, I love a manual transmission and plan on keeping one in the fleet for a long time. I do need to trim the fleet in 2025.

We have a 2024 Tesla Y and I just leased a 2024 Lightning Flash, so our daily drivers are now both EV’s. If my needs dictated towing heavy or for long distances I’d end up in a F-250. I was on the fence this time around and decided the Lightning should work for my towing needs as I’m under 10K and usually under 30 miles. The idea of spending $3500 in fuel annually vs using my home solar for the Lightning was a major factor.

My wife’s crv was roughly 6 yrs old, starting to enter the “parts need fixing / replacing” phase but still had low miles.
