Whether for “green” reasons or to escape congestion charges and the ever-rising cost of fuel, 71 percent of drivers would consider making the switch, it said on Friday.

  US is probably lagging in this type of awareness.
  Most of my friends have no idea why EV make sense.
  But this should change as both candidates are
  on the EV wagon and that become media
  blitz. By the end of this campaign, I think
  US will be more aware of what we knew for
  a long time. I suspect the shift is already happening
  as people are holding off buying, waiting for EV
  or Plug-in.
