Looks like this statistic is being dragged down heavily by Nissan Leaf owners. The Leaf is a very niche car - not much space, horrible range, and questionable reliability. It's not surprising that a lot of owners have buyer's remorse.
I'm not sure you're referencing the correct statistic related to the main takeaway of this article. Nissan EV owners were the second-highest group after Tesla (63.2%) to buy another EV, they were just low on model loyalty, not switching back to an ICE.
Ah I think you're right, I was reading too fast and saw the very low percentage of Leaf owners who said they'd get another Leaf but they're still on the EV bandwagon
