Electrified vehicles are good for the environment, but are they also good for romance? Apparently so.

As part of a broader study conducted on consumer behavior around EVs, Ford uncovered a few things related to romantic relationships – people desire partners that drive EVs. Many would choose to go on a date in an electric car than a gas-powered one, and they’re more likely to go on a second date with someone if they drove an EV.

The specific stats are as follows:

  • Electric vehicles make you a total heartthrob. 3 in 4 people would be more likely to date someone if they owned an electric vehicle.
  • Electric cars pack serious shock value. 2 in 3 (64%) of people would pick an electric vehicle to make a good first impression on someone.
  • Electric vehicles might just land you a second date. 2 in 3 (62%) people would pick an electric vehicle over a gas-engine car to go on a date

With the holiday of love right around the corner, the question we should be thinking about this Valentine’s Day is: if EV ownership gives you a perceived advantage in the dating game, why isn’t adoption higher among singles?
