A new survey has uncovered how nearly 40% of motorists know little about EV running costs, despite two thirds considering going electric for their next car
Drivers also reported struggling with other important information. Range was the third most common influence on vehicle choice, with two thirds of drivers noting that this was improving and 44% adding that they could do most journeys on a single charge.
However, almost half said published data was hard to understand, and this was even higher among those who had researched electric vehicles in detail or already drive one . In turn, 50% expected to get less than the manufacturers’ stated range, and 56% said that this would put them off getting an electric vehicle altogether.
Neill Emmett, head of marketing at LeasePlan UK and the study’s project lead, said: “Most EV models work out cheaper than diesel or petrol cars due to the lower whole-life costs. “We urgently need greater access to more financially attainable vehicles [and] continue to educate people about the cheaper running costs of an EV – even in the current economic environment – to tackle many of the common misconceptions we’re seeing.”
