this statistic does not account for Tesla loyalists, as three-quarters of Tesla owners indicated that they would continue with EVs.

Some people just like Elon Musk

Looks like this statistic is being dragged down heavily by Nissan Leaf owners. The Leaf is a very niche car - not much space, horrible range, and questionable reliability. It's not surprising that a lot of owners have buyer's remorse.

I'm not sure you're referencing the correct statistic related to the main takeaway of this article. Nissan EV owners were the second-highest group after Tesla (63.2%) to buy another EV, they were just low on model loyalty, not switching back to an ICE.

Ah I think you're right, I was reading too fast and saw the very low percentage of Leaf owners who said they'd get another Leaf but they're still on the EV bandwagon
