This eager response shows that the American car-buying population is more than ready to embrace electric vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A recent report published by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumerreports.org\/hybrids-evs\/cr-survey-shows-strong-interest-in-evs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" aria-label=\"Consumer Reports\">Consumer Reports<\/a> supported this claim, saying buyers in the United States are ready to welcome the so-called &ldquo;Age of Tesla&rdquo; and other electric cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Data from a national survey conducted by the nonprofit organization showed that the public perception of EVs is beginning to break into the mainstream. Based on the survey, only 30% of respondents aren&rsquo;t familiar with electric cars, while 71% of drivers in the US said they would consider getting an electric car in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One-third of those surveyed expressed interest in purchasing an electric car as their next vehicle, while more than 70% agreed that EVs would be better for the environment and that automakers should offer more vehicle types aside from cars, like plug-in electric pickups and SUVs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/tesla-1024x689.jpg\" alt=\"tesla\" class=\"wp-image-20962\" width=\"1024\" height=\"689\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/tesla-1024x689.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/tesla-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/tesla-768x517.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/tesla-150x101.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/tesla.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption>A recent report published by Consumer Reports says buyers in the United States are ready to welcome the so-called &ldquo;Age of Tesla&rdquo; and other electric cars.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Consumer Reports survey concludes that customers in the US are becoming &ldquo;more aware of electric cars.&rdquo; However, it&rsquo;s also important to note that these potential consumers are still concerned about the challenges that come with owning an electric vehicle, such as the availability of charging stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&ldquo;American drivers are accustomed to having ready access to gas stations, and may not realize that if they have a personal garage or driveway, they&rsquo;ll be doing most of their charging at home with an EV,&rdquo; said Chris Harto, Consumer Reports&rsquo; senior sustainability policy analyst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&ldquo;Even though we have found that the typical driver would make as few as six stops at a public charging station every year, a more robust network of fast-charging stations would help alleviate buyers&rsquo; concerns about switching to an electric vehicle,&rdquo; he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tesla is recognized by many to be at the forefront of this evolving shift from traditional gas-powered cars to battery-powered vehicles. Aside from its popular EV models such as the Model 3 and Model Y, the automaker is also acknowledged for its Supercharger Network. This network was launched at a time when the brand only had one vehicle in production. It has since grown to become a convenient and reliable rapid charging system in the US.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the company prepares to ramp up its rapid-charging system, it won&rsquo;t be surprising if the brand starts offering it to other makes and models as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teslas is the current market leader in EV production thanks to its advanced battery and software technologies. But other brands such as Rivian, Lucid Motors, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen are also starting to catch up.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>In 2020, Tesla had record-breaking numbers in car production, delivering half a million vehicles to customers despite challenges due to&#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/the-ev-era-has-begun-in-america-a-recent-consumer-reports-study-says\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":20960,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[500],"ppma_author":[2607],"class_list":{"0":"post-20956","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-tesla","9":"entry"},"acf":{"adrotate_specific_mobile_ad":"","adrotate_specific_desktop_ad":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The EV Era Has Begun in America, a Recent Consumer Reports Study Says - In The Garage with CarParts.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A recent report says buyers in the United States are ready to welcome the so-called \u201cAge of Tesla.\u201d Read more.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The EV Era Has Begun in America, a Recent Consumer Reports Study Says - In The Garage with CarParts.com\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"A recent report says buyers in the United States are ready to welcome the so-called \u201cAge of Tesla.\u201d Read more.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/the-ev-era-has-begun-in-america-a-recent-consumer-reports-study-says\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"In The Garage with CarParts.com\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/carpartscom\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-01-08T06:02:37+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-03-29T10:46:18+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.carparts.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/charging-ev.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1002\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@carpartscom\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@carpartscom\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.carparts.com\\\/blog\\\/the-ev-era-has-begun-in-america-a-recent-consumer-reports-study-says\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.carparts.com\\\/blog\\\/the-ev-era-has-begun-in-america-a-recent-consumer-reports-study-says\\\/\"},\"author\":[{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"$id\":\"4\",\"name\":\"CarParts.com Research Team\",\"jobTitle\":\"Expert Automotive Writer\",\"description\":\"The CarParts.com Research Team is composed of experienced automotive and tech writers working with (ASE)-certified automobile technicians and automotive journalists to bring up-to-date, helpful information to car owners in the US.
