Once car shoppers get an electric vehicle, the odds are very low of them returning to any kind of model that relies on a gas pump.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That’s one of the conclusions of J.D. Power’s 2025 U.S. Electric Vehicle Experience Ownership Study, which asked 6,164 owners of EVs and plug-in hybrids from model years 2024 and 2025 about their first year of ownership<\/strong>. Those respondents were surveyed from August through December 2024.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Of the EV owners surveyed, 94% said they were likely to consider purchasing another EV<\/strong> as their next car. And only 12% said they were likely to consider replacing their EV with a vehicle with an internal-combustion engine\u2014including a hybrid or plug-in hybrid.<\/p>\n

\"2025<\/p>\n

Overall, despite all the policy and messaging suggesting a pivot away from EVs, the study found EV satisfaction on the upswing<\/strong>, after two years in which owners were particularly unhappy with areas including the tech and interface, and public charging.<\/p>\n

Among mass-market EV owners, satisfaction was up 86 points year over year, to 725 points on a scale of 1,000. J.D. Power attributes that to continued charging infrastructure buildout<\/strong> and the number of EV brands<\/a> embracing the NACS charging standard and giving their customers access to the Tesla Supercharger network.<\/p>\n

The study also showed greater satisfaction among plug-in hybrid owners. The average score for premium plug-in hybrids\u2014a new subset considered in this year’s study\u2014was 741, higher than mass-market EVs, and only 15 index points lower than premium EVs. That’s a significant improvement in the overall picture for plug-in hybrids compared to previous J.D. Power studies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"2025<\/p>\n

The shift away from Tesla is skewing sales results that otherwise show significant gains among EV sales for most other brands, and despite Tesla’s nosedive, overall EV sales may gain 3% of market share this year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In places like Florida<\/a> or Texas, whether those states have favorable EV policy or not, this very high rate of owners looking to trade in for another EV is especially good news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
