Survey

Americans Want Cheaper EVs With Over 500 Miles of Range: Survey

How much range do electric vehicles need to appeal to American car buyers? 300 miles? Maybe 400, like GM thinks people want of the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV? Well, according to the 2022 Global Automotive Consumer Study from professional services firm Deloitte, even that isn't enough. Instead, Americans expect 518 miles of driving range from battery-powered cars.

Deloitte reached this figure by surveying 927 American "consumers of driving age," whose range demands would today be met only by the 520-mile 2022 Lucid Air. It comes as no surprise, then, that American drivers still overwhelmingly prefer internal combustion power, with 69 percent of respondents stating they want their next vehicles to be fossil-fueled exclusively—not even aided by a hybrid system, which just 22 percent of respondents would consider. Only five percent said they wanted an EV, as opposed to 91 percent sticking with some form of combustion power.

Weather Update – January 12, 2022

I was really hopeful for getting out of town this weekend 😞

Three day weekend, but it’s just not going to happen. Monday looks increasingly like snow, and Saturday will be bitterly cold. I mean I can work with the cold, but I think with highs in the single digits on Saturday, especially up north, it ain’t going to happen. I had a vision, but the weather seems to have taken it off the table. Winter just is tough for plans out of town. But I can stay home or go out to Five Rivers, and  that won’t cost much money. I was so hoping for hot tenting, having a big ol’ fire, maybe shooting some guns, later on drinking some beer, burning up some of that scrap paper that is filling up the waste basket at home.

At least not so cold today, I was able to turn down the heat. 🌑 But I am going to have to watch out for ice on the sidewalks with the warmer weather. The predicted sun is nice, but I almost feel like the meteorologists are too optimistic. I’m thinking more clouds will dominate. But only 26 degrees tonight, which is nice for a change, gives the heat a break. Almost 40 come Thursday, which will help with the ice. ❄️ Almost the ice can be worse then the snow, I don’t want to slip and fall again.
