A recent survey revealed that more than half of car owners in the United States consider their vehicles as part of the family.
About 51% of respondents have an emotional bond with their cars, while 53% say they would keep their current car forever if possible. The reasons for this connection vary, from cherished memories to the reliability and fuel economy the car provides.
Additionally, practical factors also influence the decision to keep the current car. The majority of respondents, about 80%, are willing to hold onto their car as long as possible if it means saving money in the long run. However, many face financial difficulties that prevent them from upgrading to a new vehicle.
Despite the strong attachment to current cars, the survey also revealed a growing acceptance of electric vehicles as the future of mobility, a sector that is increasingly expanding.
About 45% of respondents believe that electric cars are the next big trend, especially among younger generations. Reasons such as fuel economy, environmental concerns, and government incentives are driving interest in this innovative technology, despite concerns over costs and maintenance.
