WHAT? Study Reveals 42% Of Americans Think Electric Vehicles Need Gasoline

It'll probably come as no surprise to most folks that the general public doesn't know much about electric cars. In fact, the large majority are still trying to figure out what a hybrid or a plug-in hybrid even is. As a result, Ford Motor Company knows that if people don't understand EVs they will be considerably less to likely to consider one as their next car. For reasons obvious, this worries the automaker, especially as it wants upcoming electric models like the battery-powered F-150 to be welcomed and not shunned.

Individuals can be intelligent. The masses on the whole, not so much.For example, a man walked on the moon. A obviously unfit person was voted into the White House. When you read this article the other article about mandatory rear seat passenger warning systems coming in 2025 starts to make complete sense.

Its amusing to say the least. However Mazda new EV based on the new upcoming CX30 will be an EV with a Rang Extender much like BMW's I3.

What is need is for Disney to produce a Daffy Duck and Porky Pig cartoon that fully explains what a pure EV and a hybrid EV is and what it is like to live with such a car. Daffy can express himself clearly so that the typical American will understand.
