I have no numbers to back this up, just how it plays out logically in my head, but I would guess that many 3 car families have a car for the kids in the house. At least in my family, when the oldest turned 16 we got a car to share. The car got passed down to younger kids as the older kids moved to college and the younger kids got their license.
It would also make sense that the article says 3 car families prefer a mix of domestic and import, as you can get safe, reliable, and old imports more readily than you can domestic cars. We had a Honda Civic, the parents drove Chevy.
In this situation, buying an EV as the third vehicle wouldn't make sense.
