Education and experience play a key role for more people adopting the future of electric vehicles.

According to a new study done by AAA, people's concerns about buying an electric vehicle have dropped from last year's survey to this year's. The survey sites the number of places to charge a vehicle, how long a car will run on a charge and the overall price of an electric vehicle being some reasons for the drop in concern.

Despite the interest remaining steady nationwide, some parts of Ohio seem to be adopting the use of electric cars and trucks faster than the national average.

"We have seen 121% growth in the number of electric vehicle registrations in Columbus since the beginning of 2017," said Kimberly Schwind, Senior Public Relations Manger for the AAA Ohio Auto Club. "That outpaces the 82% expansion in the Midwest region and the 94 percent growth seen across the U.S. during this same period."

Dayton, Cleveland and Cincinnati are also above the national average for purchases of electric vehicles.
