You don't mention this part of the study:
'However, the likeliness to buy electric vehicles has grown over the
past three years. In 2021, 14% of gas-powered car owners said their next
vehicle would be electric, compared to 18% in February, according to the
study.'
Or the reason why most are saying they might switch back (oh, and they
said they "want" to go back to an IC car):
'Thirty-five percent of the global respondents cited inadequate charging
infrastructure as a reason to switch back.'
