Early EV adopters (current EV owners), EV considerers (those strongly considering EVs as the next purchase) and EV skeptics (currently not considering an EV) differ significantly in terms of their socio-demographics and top three purchase criteria. While EV adopters care about CO2 emissions and environmental sustainability, EV skeptics and EV considerers put a stronger weight on functional and economic aspects when evaluating EVs.<\/p><p>Yet, US buyers (especially skeptics) are contradictory. In the Ipsos 2022 Mobility Navigator EV survey, US buyers cited good fuel economy, maximizing residual value, and low total cost of ownership (TCO) as their top three vehicle features. However, in reality the F-150 \u2013 the top-selling vehicle in the US \u2013 is among the lowest of any car sold in the US<sup>3<\/sup> in terms of fuel efficiency (range of EPA-estimated combined fuel efficiency of 12-25 MPG depending on trim)<sup>4<\/sup>. It becomes clear that beyond economic factors the size and versatility of vehicles are clear purchase drivers for the US population. Fortunately, it is not an absolute necessity to convince the skeptics in the next few years \u2013 the segment of considerers is large enough to fuel the EV growth until 2030 and will certainly expand as EV technology shifts toward mainstream prominence.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-85441df elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"85441df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><strong><span style=\"color: #ea5b18;\">What is in it for me?<\/span> Mass EV adoption will accelerate with cheaper E<\/strong><b>Vs and customer education<\/b><\/h2><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, even EV considerers see a gap between their willingness to pay and current EV prices. 36% of US customers said vehicle sticker price is a top three purchase factor, and 48% of customers say they are not willing to pay a premium for an EV<sup>2<\/sup>.

Customers\u2019 minimum range requirements differ by persona. Unsurprisingly, BEV skeptics have the highest range requirement while BEV considerers have the lowest. Most early adopters state a requirement of under 300 miles. As so often in car buying, buyers\u2019 stated requirements are based on the exceptional use, considering the average daily driving distance in the US is only 25 miles<sup>2<\/sup>. While the evolution of battery technology (and thus increase of range and reduced charging time) may narrow parts of this gap, customer education and practical experience will be paramount in addressing customers\u2019 greatest EV concerns around range and charging anxiety, affordability and product availability to turn skeptics into adopters. While OEMs have to carry customers to the brink of consideration, dealers will be key in familiarizing customers with the practicalities of EV infrastructure and pros and cons against their gasoline counterparts. Federal and state governments can play a supporting role reassuring customers around EV incentives and infrastructure.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Communication to customers will similarly help to underline EVs (potential) TCO advantages. 40% of BEV skeptics say that a concern about owning an EV is higher TCO. Yet, for two models of similar segment and size, an ICE vehicle can be more than 20% more expensive to run depending on the length of ownership<sup>11<\/sup>.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The gaps in perceptions and buying preferences are narrowing fast in the US. Over the last three years, the proportion of US buyers contemplating an EV for their next purchase is up to 49% (up 19 points) compared to both Chinese buyers (72%, up 7 points) and German buyers (37%, up 14 points)<sup>2<\/sup>.

Upstream EVs will require new chassis, body-in-white, E\/E and e-drive capabilities (among others). The ramp-up and holistic industrialization of these capabilities will be the deciding factor: From the shopfloor to the board room and back again. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dca072a elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"dca072a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f9988f2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f9988f2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>SALES FORECAST BY POWERTRAINS<\/h5><p>(2021-2030, in thousands of units)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a370f71 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a370f71\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.berylls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/diagram-6.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"diagram-6\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6Mjg0MDYsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC93d3cuYmVyeWxscy5jb21cL3dwLWNvbnRlbnRcL3VwbG9hZHNcLzIwMjNcLzAzXC9kaWFncmFtLTYuanBnIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2083\" height=\"1086\" src=\"https:\/\/www.berylls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/diagram-6.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-28406\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.berylls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/diagram-6.jpg 2083w, https:\/\/www.berylls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/diagram-6-768x400.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.berylls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/diagram-6-1536x801.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.berylls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/diagram-6-2048x1068.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.berylls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/diagram-6-260x136.jpg 260w, https:\/\/www.berylls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/diagram-6-50x26.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.berylls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/diagram-6-144x75.jpg 144w, https:\/\/www.berylls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/diagram-6-45x23.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2083px) 100vw, 2083px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-063a4a0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-kyl_note\" data-id=\"063a4a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"kyl_note.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\n       <div class=\"kyl-note\">\n         <div class=\"inner-wrapper\">\n             <p>Source: Berylls Strategy Advisors analysis and extrapolation including (among others) sales data from S&amp;P Global Mobility Light Vehicle Sales April 2022 as well as production nameplate and propulsion system design data from S&amp;P Global Mobility Automotive Light Vehicle Transmission + Engine Forecast, April 2022<\/p>         <\/div>\n       <\/div>\n\n\n        \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-337b384 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"337b384\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fdbf493 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fdbf493\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Also, downstream the impact is already visible: the reactions by dealers range from going all into electric to leaving the party (e.g., GM).
