"These are not the same kind of customers who created the initial EV market," GBK President Jeremy Korst told Business Insider in an interview. A new wave of EV shoppers is hitting the market, and the industry appears to be unprepared to meet their needs. Among the group of EV considerers surveyed, Toyota was the most considered brand, with 47% showing a preference for the Japanese automaker compared to 41% favoring Elon Musk's Tesla. Plug-in hybrids ranked very high on EV considerer's preference lists in GBK's study. GBK's study found that EV considerers are willing to pay $7,650 more on average for an EV than a gas-powered car with similar features.

Men make up most early adopters of electric cars, while women account for most EV skeptics. Here is who they are and what they're looking for. The adopters' top three prioritized vehicle features include addressing concerns about CO2 emissions and air pollution, vehicles that are unique, and a vehicle that keeps its value. They're also the most flexible of buyers regarding the range they're looking for in an EV. Given that, "I think we'll potentially start to see a shift in terms of what the range of features within electric vehicles is."
