Most EV Owners Stand By the Technology in New Study

Opinions about the political shifts and impacts on the ever-evolving electrical vehicle industry vary greatly across the automotive industry including at the dealership. But perhaps the most important opinions belong to EV owners. 

For the second year, CDK surveyed this group of car owners for the 2025 EV Ownership study to understand why more EVs were sold last year than ever before. EVs made up almost 9% of all sales at 1.3 million units. And that figure is significant because most EV owners plan to buy another EV and even add a second to their garages.

This year’s results indicate positive shifts related to technology, purchase process and ownership but not all age groups are committed to trading in their current EV for another model. More than half of baby boomers surveyed plan to go electric again but 31% are going back to gas-only cars. We unpack the reasons why along with: 

• Bringing the EV Home 
• The Charging Dynamic
• The Cold Truth on Range
• Service Is a Sore Spot
• Is the EV Glow Fading?
