The poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and the Energy Policy Institute at the University of Chicago shows about 4 in 10 U.S. adults say they would be at least somewhat likely to buy an EV the next time they buy a car, while about half aren't ready to give up on gas-powered vehicles.
