I have wood.
It's also worth pointing out that in Rusty's article from Forbes, the percentages for Hybrid and pure EV combined are actually higher than for gas - e.g. of the polled audience, more are considering alternatives than traditional gasoline fueled vehicles. Also - Electric sales have gone from about 2% in 2019 to 2.4% in 2020, and up to around 3% last year. Hybrid sales are another 5% of the market. Both groups are increasing rapidly year over year. Certainly it won't happen for a few years, but the market transition to mostly hybrid or EV is definitely on the way.Thanks for providing a supporting source! Lots of surveys like this exist, and they often have results that are different enough to make it hard to gauge what's real. Here are some similar polls from the last 12 months:
How many Americans expect to never drive an EV in their life? New driver report reveals it is more than you think
As gas prices go up and EV prices go down, many consumers are looking to go green. How many Americans plan to drive an EV next or at all?electrek.co
Survey: 7 out of 10 Americans see an EV in the future, want more vehicle choices and charging
Respondents in a Consumer Reports survey want more EV choices, and about half said that there aren't enough charging stations for electric cars.www.greencarreports.com
How Americans view electric vehicles
About four-in-ten Americans (38%) say they’re very or somewhat likely to seriously consider an electric vehicle (EV) for their next vehicle purchase.www.pewresearch.org
These all indicate somewhere between 20 and 70% of Americans expect to own an EV. The only consistent trend in these types of poll data seems to be interest in EVs is increasing. But again the data for how much interest might be increasing is all over the map too.

I had a 2018 Accord (current generation). I had a leaky tail light with a puddle in it. Made the throttle sporadically unresponsive. Very scary. Dealer couldn’t replicate and no codes.
Exactly. You don't know how the questions in the polls are phrased, or how the data may be used to support the stance that probably existed before the poll was done. It's probably not a coincidence that Pro-EV sites are finding poll results that have more interest in EVs. And it wouldn't surprise me if anti-EV sites showed poll results with lower EV interest. What I'm basically saying is that every single one of these polls should be viewed skeptically with a grain of salt. It's not really scientific or anything.
That’s different. Drive by wire gas pedal?
Yep and 6mt so I almost stalled a few times at lights on the way to the dealer. New tail light fixed it.

Taken with a grain of salt right?
