Automotive dealerships and automakers need to educate consumers about EV ownership. A recent report from J.D. Power shows new vehicle shoppers' confidence (or interest) for EVs in March 2023 dropped. The “very unlikely” respondents to the survey for March was 21%, compared to 18.9% in Feb. 2023.

Why?

J.D.’s E-Vision Intelligence Reports cited that nearly half of all new vehicle shoppers lacked EV information. 

Our mission at EVA is to educate and accelerate EV adoption with the help of our 100+ chapters, and today’s educator is Karl Bloss. Karl Bloss, member of the Southwest Michigan EVA chapter offers insight on RFID cards at public charging stations.
