A new study reveals that women are more likely than men to perceive electric vehicles as slower than traditional gasoline-powered cars, despite performance data suggesting otherwise. Researchers found that this perception may stem from differences in how drivers evaluate acceleration and speed in everyday contexts. The findings highlight a potential gap between consumer expectations and the actual capabilities of electric vehicles. The study could influence how automakers market these cars to address lingering concerns about performance.
