Age Over Ideology: What the Latest Poll Reveals About Who’s Buying EVs

Recorded on Oct 27, 2026

Who is most likely to buy an electric vehicle in the next five years? New polling suggests the answer depends less on politics than on age.

According to the latest RPM: Roadmap for Policy Momentum survey, a monthly tracking poll from the Zero Emission Transportation Association (ZETA) and Generation180, younger Americans are leading the way when it comes to EV interest. The share who see an EV in their future is highest among younger generations and varies meaningfully across age groups. Overall, a growing share of Americans now say an EV is in their future.

Join us for a conversation with Matt George, Partner and Head of Research at Seven Letter Insight, who will unpack the latest poll results, what’s driving these numbers, and what they mean for the road ahead.\
