Study Finds 41% of EV Drivers Would Avoid Tesla over Politics

A global survey of over 26,000 electric vehicle drivers found 41% avoid Tesla due to Elon Musk's political actions, with highest avoidance in the U.S. and Germany.

  • A global survey found 41 percent of electric-vehicle drivers worldwide would avoid Tesla, surveying more than 26,000 owners across 30 countries for the Global EV Alliance.
  • Amid calls for boycott, respondents said Tesla, citing political reasons, as a reason for avoidance, though impact remains hard to measure.
  • Country-Level results show avoidance rates vary widely, with the United States at 52 percent and India just two percent, while Lithuania reports 43 percent avoiding China-made EVs versus 2 percent in Italy and Poland.
  • Market realities in the Global South mean calls for boycott have limited impact due to scarce model availability and affordability, experts including Ellen Hiep note.
  • With a high-profile CEO, Elon Musk, Tesla's CEO, scrutiny heightens as political controversies involving Musk contribute to 41 percent of EV drivers avoiding Tesla.
