US buyers can’t currently purchase any Chinese-branded EVs but a new study revealed that drivers aged under 40 would welcome them with open arms, the story continued. A study by AutoPacific found 76% of Americans aged in their 20s and 30s would buy a Chinese EV.
The overall figure falls to 35% when 18 to 80-year-olds were asked with data sharing fears high on respondents’ list of concerns but another 16% of all drivers who rejected the idea of Chinese EV ownership said they would change their mind if they were built in the US.
