Poll: Age, Not Politics, Drives EV Buying Intent

A ZETA survey of 1,300 respondents found 36% of adults aged 18-34 and 40% of those 35-49 are very likely to buy or lease an EV, versus just 18% of 50-64 year-olds and 4% of those 65 and older. Political affiliation mattered less: 26% of left-leaning voters and 22% of right-leaning voters said they were very likely to buy an EV.
