A McKinsey &#038; Co. global consumer survey found that 46 percent of American EV owners would like to go back to gas-powered vehicles when they buy their next vehicle, according to Automotive News. Globally, the figure was 29 percent.  \u201cI didn\u2019t expect that,\u201d said Philipp Kampshoff, leader of McKinsey\u2019s Center for Future Mobility. \u201cI thought, \u2018Once an EV buyer, always an EV buyer.\u2019\u201d EV questions were among the 200 questions McKinsey asked more than 30,000 consumers in 15 countries.   The survey found that a dearth of charging stations was a major headache for EV owners. Although the Biden administration\u2019s National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program started two years ago, only eight charging stations exist so far due to the program.  Only 23 states have gotten as far as handing out the money Washington approved.  Will EVs ever be as convenient or reliable as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/insane-states-slam-new-emissions-deal-struck-by-california-and-truck-manufacturers\/\" title=\"States criticize California and truck manufacturers&#039; new emissions deal as &#039;insane&#039;.\">traditional gas-powered vehicles<\/a>?     The survey noted that consumers want EVs to go farther now than they did in 2022. The survey found the minimum range expectations for an EP averaged out to 291.4 miles, up from 270 miles in 2022. EV repair costs, and the frequency of them, have also soured EV owners on their vehicles, a J.D. Power study has found, according to Yahoo Finance. The survey of almost 100,000 purchasers and lessees of 2024 vehicles, which took place within 90 days of when they bought the vehicle, showed internal combustion engines came out on top. Gasoline-powered vehicles averaged 180 problems per 100 vehicles, while battery-electric vehicles were at 266 problems per 100 vehicles.  Frank Hanley, senior director of auto benchmarking at J.D. Power, said the EV owners \u201care experiencing problems that are of a severity level high enough for them to take their new vehicle into the dealership at a rate three times higher than that of gas-powered vehicle owners.\u201d \u201cIt is not surprising that the introduction of new technology has challenged manufacturers to maintain vehicle quality,\u201d Hanley said.  EVs could also face the withdrawal of the existing $7,500 federal subsidy that the Biden administration and a Democrat-controlled Congress approved, according to Bloomberg. Of all the credits and clean energy money in the Inflation Reduction Act, EV credits are \u201chands down the most exposed, no matter how you look at it,\u201d said James Lucier, managing director at research group Capital Alpha Partners.  Former President Donald Trump has criticized the Biden administration\u2019s boosting of EVs.  A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:  I heard a chilling comment the other day: \u201cWe don\u2019t even know if an election will be held in 2024.\u201d\u00a0  That wasn\u2019t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.  Gen. Flynn\u2019s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.  The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, \u201cWe must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.\u201d  All of this means that without you, it\u2019s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we\u2019ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can\u2019t continue the fight.  Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control.\u00a0  A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content \u2014 news, commentary, and premium articles. You\u2019ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America\u2019s soul in 2024.  We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight?\u00a0  Sincerely, Josh Manning Deputy Managing Editor The Western Journal           SummaryMore Biographical InformationRecent PostsContact Jack Davis is a freelance writer who joined The Western Journal in July 2015 and chronicled the campaign that saw President Donald Trump elected.
