You’re not crazy—while the popularity of electric cars has been exponential, they still remain somewhat of a niche market among all drivers. So just who exactly is buying up all the electric cars?
Here’s what we know. In a study by the
Fuels Institute
, we get a better idea of what the demographics of EV buyers are like. The top demographic of 2019 EV owners are middle-aged white men who earn over $100,000 annually, with a college degree or higher. The typical EV buyer also owns at least one other vehicle.
To facilitate more widespread EV adoption, electric automakers and lawmakers alike are working to make
electric cars more affordable
and accessible for all.
If you’re thinking about buying an electric car of your own, you’re going to need a great car insurance plan. For hassle-free shopping, get
