This Volvo and Harris Poll Study investigates the state of EVs in America

Current EV

The EV sector includes HEVs (Hybrid Electric Vehicles), PHEVs (Plug-In Electric Vehicles), and BEVs (Battery Electric Vehicles). While most EV drivers agree that their vehicle makes for a smarter decision long-term, as cost savings on fuel balance the higher upfront price tag, drivers overall are less confident in this benefit.
