“according to Experian’s latest Automotive Consumer Trends Report that covers this year’s second quarter and draws from vehicle registration data and other sources.”

“85% of their EV buyers also have at least one gasoline-fueled vehicle. Just 4% own only an EV.”

The notion of “use cases” is inherent
(subliminally, alluded, or straightforward) in the bulk of comments.

Range, infrastructure or cost (and convenience) are often implied (directly/indirectly) in the bulk of the responses.

Safety is not explicitly mentioned. Nor is the hybrid/PHEV with any assertion.

In looking for the “chie” in the responses, the notion of a middle ground technology (vs a middle ground lifestyle) is rhetorically absent yet subliminally adopted. Toyota read the landscape correctly.
