What s interesting is that despite only 30% of respondents saying that they didn t know much about EVs, a bigger group remains interested in getting behind the wheel. In fact, close to a third of those surveyed would consider buying an EV as their next vehicle. Unsurprisingly, range anxiety and access to charging stations were two main barriers to EV ownership, but with modern EVs beginning to surpass 500 miles of range, these aspects are no longer as concerning as they once were.
Approximately half of the drivers surveyed indicated that a range of over 300 miles should meet their requirements. Outside of range, an EV s purchase price and a lack of knowledge about these vehicles were also mentioned as barriers to ownership.
