- Americans are getting more divided on electric vehicles.
- While EVs gain market share, more and more people say don't want one as their next car.
- Factors repelling buyers from EVs include long charging times, lack of charging stations, and high pricing.
Battery-powered cars seem like the next big thing, but a growing portion of Americans aren't ready to give up internal combustion.
The percentage of Americans who say they're "very unlikely" to buy an electric vehicle as their next car is growing, according to JD Power, which keeps close tabs on consumer sentiment around EVs. In JD Power's surveys, the EV-skeptic contingent has steadily grown from 17.8% to 21% of respondents between January and March.
