I wonder what the recidivism rate (for lack of a better term) is for EV drivers? I don’t think ill ever buy another pure ICE vehicle ever again

Good question. I also don’t intend to ever go back, but I’ve had my BEV vehicle less than a year, so it may depend on how well it holds up.

Of course it may also depend on whether ICE vehicles are sold anymore by the time I get a different vehicle. Hopefully I’m fine with my existing vehicle 10+ years and hopefully there will no longer be new ICE vehicles for sale

Which did you get? I think I can see a gas truck if I ever actually had need for it, but like you said it’s hard to know where the infrastructure will be in a decade, but if the rate of people leaving EVs is low this type of stuff is going to be pretty locked in moving forward.

I saw a study about 5 years ago that showed over 90% of ev owners expected their next car to be electric. I just replaced my first ev with another ev.
