Why Michigan’s rural residents are reluctant to drive electric vehicles

Why Michigan’s rural residents are reluctant to drive electric vehicles
Great Lakes Echo

By Bauyrzhan Zhaxylykov

New U-M survey finds only about 5% of rural Michigan residents say they would choose an electric vehicle as their next car. Researchers attribute much of that reluctance to misinformation about the availability of public chargers and the cost of EVs and replacement batteries. The Whitmer administration is pushing to expand electric vehicle use to meet climate and clean energy goals.
