A significant share of Americans who own an electric vehicle have buyer’s remorse, according to new data.

McKinsey & Co.’s Mobility Consumer Pulse for 2024, released this month, found that 46% of EV owners in the U.S. said they were “very” likely to switch back to owning a gas-powered vehicle in their next purchase.

The high percentage of Americans who want to make a switch even surprised the consulting firm.

Around 10 years ago now, I was driving a second-generation (R56) Mini Cooper S. It was an absolute blast when it was running properly, which it almost never was. To this day, when one passes by and I hear the very distinct rattle from that 1.6-liter turbocharged engine, I can basically feel my bank account draining. At least I can sleep well at night knowing that all of those repair costs probably helped send my mechanic's kids to a nicer, better college than I went to.

I recently came across a video on YouTube that showed me the serious progress that electric overlanding and camping gear has made in the last few years. As a clean tech fanatic who gets a lot of review items from manufacturers, I figured out early on where this was going, but I’ve kept myself grounded by regularly talking to family and friends who are more mainstream. The unavoidable truth has continued to be the dominance of camping gases like propane, butane, and even old-school “white gas.”
